The example requested http://example.com/index.html, which example.com now
answers with a 404, so the board printed an error page instead of the demo
page. The scanned network list also ran together on the screen, because
nothing separated one entry from the next after its signal strength.

Request http://example.com/ instead, and end every network entry with a new
line so each one gets its own line. Use text size 4 for everything on the
screen, including the page, which the example used to print at size 1. At size 1
the text was too small to read on the 9.7 inch screen, and the whole page still
fits at size 4.

Run on an Inkplate 10 with the same code: the networks are listed one per line,
the dots appear while connecting, and the page text is large and readable.
