That argument doesn't fit in with my picture.

What does E Ink sell?
E Ink sells display modules to device makers who wish to integrate our reflective displays into their application. […]

E-Ink Holding is producing items and sells them. Maybe I'm just being ignorant and they
would actually sell me a random 13 inch screen if I went asking, but something tells me that it's not that easy.
In either case, it doesn't look like a lot of "additional manufacturing" or "risk" to me. The screens are there, and given how many folks are programming their own Raspberry Pi these days, I bet there is a market for a few "stand alone" E-Inks screen, too. I certainly would buy one. Then why can't I?
