The computer module 4 carrier boards are back from the manufacturer and they work!

The design is 6.5mm thick and probably as thin as it'll be using off the shelf modules. Last log I mentioned the lack of portable power. It's about time it was incorporated into the design. I'd like to use a thin, off the shelf battery available from multiple distributors, but that might be asking for a unicorn. I'll let you know how my search goes and if you have any suggestions please let me know!

Also, since this is a portable device, I want book lovers to be able to add, remove, and edit URLs to fetch books using only the eReader. This effectively requires a virtual keyboard and thus a touch screen. Good Display sells a kit of a 4.2" raw e-paper panel, backlight, and touchscreen but it's currently out of stock. According to representatives from Good Display, the kit will be available a week after the writing of this log.

In the meantime, I'll focus on a portable power solution. Once that is complete and a touchscreen, and ideally backlight, is implemented, I'll probably focus on refactoring the code.
