This article is about a new technology that brings new possibilities. Her suggestion would remove all the advantages, and leave an ereader that she doesn't want to buy anyway since she is perfectly happy with her device, and wants to keep it for at least a decade.
And if you read the article all the way to the end, you will see that they don't say that it would be fairly cheap compared to what technology cost in the past, but actually cheap enough to throw away at the end of the day. How much does a newspaper cost?
