Can you blame them when they now sell readers at/below cost? ...

So, tablets and smartphones are out because they're USB unfriendly, unless you bypass that with Calibre Companion for Android device. iOS are out also because they're walled garden. Smartphones are too small and tablets too distracting anyway.
Kindle e-inks are out because they're walled garden and not EPUB capable.
Sony e-inks are out because they're discontinuing.
Nooks & Kobos are out because they're walled gardens.
Is anything left? Onyx e-inks, maybe?
