How did you do this? How did you make it durable, and how do you supply power
to the Pi?

Of course I would prefer to have emacs as my note taker. The only thing
holding me back is that I would not want to have a separate host device, which
is always out of battery, or even worse, breaks in my backpack.

Maybe, if I request for a company to put emaacs into my brave new display,
things will go smoothly...

I really would like to hear objections. But you are probably right. All my bug
reports have been silently ignored in all braille display maker companies that
I have contacted so far.
