EBook reader DIY?

Guys,
First off, I have little to no clue about electronics. I'm an aerospace

engineer and can figure stuff out by myself once I've been pointed in
the right direction. I have some very BASIC electronic knowledge, can
quickly read up books & articles about electronics when needed, and am
very experienced with soldering. This would be my very first
electronics DIY project.

I came across a BOEhydis HT10X21-200 lcd screen (without bezel,
frame,etc.) and would like to build my own portable eBook reader /
picture viewer / movie player. I have no idea whatsoever where to start

looking for info, diagrams, parts, etc. I have no idea if a 'homebuilt'

like this has been done before and thus I have no general concept of
what to do (windows based? unix based? other OS? what memory, cpu,
graphics, etc..).


Any help / pointers would be greatly appreciated! I realize my request
is very broad, feel free to just throw your opinion in please!
Thanks!
Bernie
