The question would be what is the difference between the production of a glass screen and a flexible screen.

My original price of $350 is that of the Onyx Boox 92 in the US. I suspect that it is more difficult to make a larger panel than a smaller one. Further, the 6" readers sell well. The market for this larger reader may be more akin to that of the Kindle DX or Onyx Boox 92. The smaller market will result in a higher price. (However it could have a very large market if students and professionals who read pdfs want the device. I personally have been looking for such a device for years.)
I do not see the device costing less than $1,000. I will still buy it.
