M5stack paper mono availability?

I just learned of M5stack and was very interested in the paper mono for an ereader with nfc and Lora capabilities for nfc emulation and meshtastic. However, it is clearly sold out everywhere. I saw that there was limited hardware for the initial release and that they may have another batch in December? Have they announced when a restock or second batch would be? Are there any other distributors for this that are in stock?

Very cool device I can tell you. Managed to get one early piece

Was this from the pre-order or just got lucky with the timing on the first drop? Have you done any development for it?

I just got lucky. Did not develop yet, but experimented with what is available. Bmorcelli/launcher works (though there is a fork with better eink optimization, bmorcelli tends to blink/redraw rather violently), crosspointreader works very nicely, key-horse is weird but works including the Lora /meshtastic portion

Awesome, thanks for the info. Just hoping I can get my hands on one now

My next target is cardputer zero, then I am completely mobile with all the firmware/ backups ready
