Questions

How big is the Ereader PCB?

It measures 55 × 95 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ereader use?

66 parts, built around the AP2112K-3.3, MBR0530 and BSS138. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Ereader KiCad files?

From the FerretCode/ereader repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/ereader.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/battery_charger.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ereader design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask FerretCode before reusing the design.
