I would buy it, IF the market were open, instead of this pseudo-market where the manufacturer has to add apps.
It's one thing if the software is basically built into the hardware, but why give the option of having different software and at the same time restricting the ability to use different software?
Why would anyone want to rely on the manufacturer to supply updates and provide new software if they actually want to sell the hardware? What happens when the model goes out of production? We're stuck with old software and can't change it anymore.
Basically, why not just take an android tablet and put an eInk display on it? Reinventing the wheel rarely makes it rounder. Even if you try to remove one or two angles to make it roll smoother - you might end up adding more edges instead.
