While the big names like Amazon\u2019s Kindle and Kobo have mostly stuck to their old designs until recently, other brands have started expanding their reach, launching no less than 5 or so new models each year. While that number might be a sign of a healthy market, it also translates to more waste in the long run, especially with devices that are often seen as difficult if not impossible to repair.<\/p>\n<p>One player in this market, however, is trying to change that perception. Just a few months back, Supernote launched its latest model, the A5 2X, better known as the Manta. While it boasts its ultra-thin design, what was really unique about it was how it promoted its repairable and sustainable design. Of course, being able to open up the tablet\u2019s back is pointless if you can\u2019t replace broken parts inside, so Supernote\u2019s new DIY zone makes good on that promise and also opens the door to something its competitors won\u2019t even dare to do.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/supernote.com\/pages\/diy-zone\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Supernote<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/supernote-manta-diy-zone-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-540157\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/13\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Supernote Manta E-reader replacement parts and guides open the doors to DIY mods\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/supernote-manta-diy-zone-02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/supernote-manta-diy-zone-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-540158\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/13\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Supernote Manta E-reader replacement parts and guides open the doors to DIY mods\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/supernote-manta-diy-zone-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/supernote-manta-diy-zone-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-540158\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/13\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Supernote Manta E-reader replacement parts and guides open the doors to DIY mods\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/supernote-manta-diy-zone-05.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"56636f1b6b1d53b2f4037a86-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ad-1 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"56636f1b6b1d53b2f4037a86-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For a product to be truly repairable, you need more than just easy access to damaged parts.

Indeed, the earliest Kindles and its ilk had that image, but the rising prices of these devices should probably give consumers pause for thought. Hopefully, this DIY Zone won\u2019t be a short-lived endeavor and will spur competitors like reMarkable, Bigme, and Onyx BOOX to follow suit. Big shots like Amazon and Kobo, however, are unlikely to go down that route for a long, long time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/supernote-manta-diy-zone-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-540163\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/13\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Supernote Manta E-reader replacement parts and guides open the doors to DIY mods\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/supernote-manta-diy-zone-03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/supernote-manta-diy-zone-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-540163\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/03\/13\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Supernote Manta E-reader replacement parts and guides open the doors to DIY mods\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/03\/supernote-manta-e-reader-replacement-parts-and-guides-open-the-doors-to-diy-mods\/supernote-manta-diy-zone-03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"swp-hidden-panel-wrap\" style=\"display: none; visibility: collapse; opacity: 0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n                                            <\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n                            <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                <span>JC Torres<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                        <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
