An appealing device, but for that price I would rather get a regular Android tablet from Samsung.

I guess it's my own expectation that an e-ink device should be noticeably cheaper.

Ah, I've made a few things in my time and I tend to look at price of a thing through the lens of whether it does what I need it to and if I could build it cheaper myself. Do you mind if I ask what you would call a fair price for a device like this, and which features you absolutely could not do without if you were to buy one?

Well for e-ink, it would be longer battery life and decent contrast.

I probably wouldn't go over USD $200 for ~7 inch device.
