I found my long-lost original Game Boy. It survived 6 younger siblings and one of them hot-glued a new screen on. I'd love to mod it to read books on it like a Kindle. Where would you start?

It's not a thing. And it doesn't really make sense anyway, you can buy premade ebook readers like the Boox Palma that will fit in your pocket much better than a Game Boy. If you can fix it up and throw an ips display in there, new shell and buttons but that's the best this device is going to get. An

Are there small screen e-readers that fit in a pocket?

6inch can fit my pockets. But if you are looking for a phone sized wink, can check out Boox Palma. It is an android eink. Battery life is not the same as ereaders though, since it is more of a phone/tablet (not that it matters to you here.) It is android, so you can get those scroller clicky things

Just got the Boox Palma 2 - thoughts and Kindle PW comparison

That’s interesting bc I never have to refresh! I think you should keep messing with the settings for at least a few more days before you write that part off. It took me a bit to figure out my sweet spot. I can’t say that I’m the most anal about the words being crisp so I can’t speak to that, but reg

Converting EPUB to XTC - best reading experience so far

Original EPUB as displayed on Boox Palma and converted XTC on the X4 of a book that has embedded images. I am very happy with this solution! Also the contrast on the X4 is a bit crispier which I enjoy :)
