Does anybody knows, if this is still the actual prize for replacement? I mean, at least theroretically, it must be cheaper now to produce an Eink display.
Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure you can get them replaced anymore. I haven't heard much information yet on what type of support the new company will have for the older devices. What I've read is that they're only going to support the DR800, but I don't know if that means warranty/repair work, or new firmware, or if it's even true.

I also believe, even before the Bankruptcy, that availability of replacement screens was difficult to come by. IOW, it probably is cheaper, but I don't know if PVI is making displays for iLiads anymore.
