I have a Raspberry Pi Zero and I have attached it to the Waveshare 9.7" e-ink display. What I want to do is to make this a typing machine (I am aware of the screen refresh rate). The simplest version of this would be to run LibreOffice.

I can find several examples where this display is used with Python codes where the refresh rate can be set within an individual program (e.g., displaying calendar events or working as a clock). I have tested a couple of these projects, and they work. However, I would like to effectively use the display as a monitor.

How can this be achieved?

    Sounds like you’d need to write a Linux kernel driver for it, which would be a pretty serious undertaking.
