what i conclude of the price of wacom tablet in the size of the iLiad. Wacom is a major price issue with the iLiad. A Wacom tablet that size cost 200-250€. If yo leave that away, or replace it with cheap technology, you know where the price difference to the non-wacom capable devices comes from.

IMHO its WACOMs patent why they cash so much, also from iRex.

People always call for price cuts, but say they pay aprox. 200€ for the WACOM tablet, and 200€ for the eInk screen. You got 250€ left for CPUs / Mainboard / Memory / Casing etc. and getting something back for the development costs.
