Indeed, I remember back in the early days of PCs, people had Green and Amber monitors because supposedly they were easier on the eyes than B&W ones (Amber ones anyway). Though I doubt they actually were.
For $200, I would expect something a lot better. Aren't there already cheap B&W LCD e-readers? Like $100 or under?

This is more than an ereader. Look at the ASUS product page posted earlier.
Think of it as a greyscale tablet optimized for reading and note taking.
Personally, I'll be more interested in a color model.
I used to use an Amdek amber monitor on my old PC, connected to a Hercules graphics card. (I still have the old PC on a shelf, but no longer have the monitor.)
