Flicker-free black-and-white mini games for Kindle and BOOX readers

Problem: People who want to use their Kindle for something other than reading find that normal browser games leave ghosting trails and rely on grayscale that e-ink can't show. There is almost nothing playable in the built-in browser, and users trying to cut down on phone doomscrolling have no alternative.
Solution: A game site built for e-ink: pure black and inverted colors, zero animation, only redrawing changed cells, supporting arrow keys, stylus and touch. It offers sudoku, nonogram, minesweeper, 2048 and more, with no signup, no ads, and local progress storage.
Users: Owners of Kindle, BOOX, reMarkable and similar e-ink devices, especially bedtime readers
MVP: 8–10 classic games tuned for e-ink rendering; arrow-key, touch and stylus input; local progress and a daily puzzle; no login, no ads; per-device setup notes.
Revenue: One-time purchase to remove ads or unlock all games, affiliate links to e-reader accessories, or donations.
Why now: E-ink device shipments keep growing, but developers ignore their interaction limits. A solo front-end developer can cover this niche cheaply.
