I doubt anyone could beat the price of ones like the Nook Simple Touch, which are used as a loss leader for future book sales by B&N. Other companies would have to charge more even if they cut corners, because they would only be getting profit from the hardware. You can root the NST in half an hour and it is a standard Android tablet (2.1) with an e-ink screen. Seems like they often do deals on them for 80 bucks.
