Please support e-ink Android devices #344

Hello.

Thanks for a great job.

Would you please consider supporting the E-ink devices? What's needed here is to filter the output of the software through a binary dithering algorithm, as the e-ink is only able to render videos quickly in a binary mode.

Also it would be great to support the Onyx Boox API to control the modes of the e-ink display

Hello @bubnikv. Thank you for you kind words. However, I doubt that there are more than a dozen people using e-ink devices...

This is a chicken-egg problem. There are no people using E-ink displays, because there is no software for it. There is no software for it, because there there is nobody using it.

I may try to provide a pull request for this functionality, but I am not fluent in Android programming, and there is so much I would like to learn, but the day has 24 hours only.
