I’d love one at the right price - but aren’t e-ink screens expensive because only a couple of people make them ?
I think I paid about 30 quid for my first one - but since then kobo and Amazon have tried to force the value up and abandoned basic devices
The one we use is about $15-$20 USD
They both still have basic device for about 100$ ( cnd ) sure it more than 30$ but i still have a 10 years old kindle tha work flawlessly so worth the price. And since i own every book i ever got on amazon thx calibre ( even tho amazon working real hard to make it stop )
The open book would be nice if overdrive/libby would work on it because i hate kobo but it's the only way i can borrow ebook in canada
