As I have posted here many times, though, what all the companies are missing is that many of us (probably stanislaw included) want a BIG CHEAP NO-FRILLS e-ink reader. That and a paper and pencil will suit all our needs. Nobody seems to be working on that. Everybody is fixated on combining e-ink and TFT (or whatever) technology for the all-purpose perfect machine, with of course a corresponding high price tag. How stupid. If I had a garage in Taiwan or someplace with basic production capabilities, I would produce a an e-inker that could read anything on the net, with NO touchscreen, no color, no bluetooth, no wireless, no nothing but reading capability (and which of them even do that flawlessly yet!) for $100 and I would become a millionaire.
