LogInInk Console was made by Dana.
Is it an ebook or is it a console? I'd say it's a bit of both. Ink Console has an E Ink electronic paper screen that allows you to not only read but also play games featuring interactive elements like inventory, health, and options.
Created by a solo developer known as Dana, the device offers several interactive books that combine storytelling with gameplay, inviting you to immerse yourself in Choose Your Own Adventure-like stories.

"Today, through this space, I’m excited to continue exploring ways to blend technology, learning, and creativity, bringing innovative, meaningful solutions to audiences of all ages," Dana said.

On Ink Console, you use GameBooks, which you can also create yourself using the SDK. There are 9 of them made by Dana at the moment, with 3 skins for the console. Unfortunately, there is no touchscreen, you interact with games with a stick and a button.
The best part is that Ink Console is compatible with ebook formats, so you can use it as a classic book when you're tired of games.
The device is still in development, but when it's fully out, Dana promises free access to the code. This year, he plans to hire more people and start delivering the consoles to backers.
