    What would you regard as reasonable? If I recall correctly, 800 dollars was the price for the last 13 inch e ink display I saw.

      That brings it outside of the reasonable range for most people, I would think.

      Am I right in suggesting that e-ink displays remain artificially overpriced because of the company that ultimately owns the patent?

        I would seriously consider something like this since my computing job requires me to stare at a light bulb all day. Perhaps there’s a demographic that would spring for this in the same way there is for quality chairs.

        I have assumed prices are high because it’s a small market, at least with the current technology.
