I think the market for e-ink readers will be very small and highly specialized. Maybe some used ones will be donated to Africa so people/children can learn to read, do math, etc.

And how are they supposed to charge the devices?
Most places in Africa have very limited electricity.
They have greater needs than sending them used stuff they really can't use.
No internet, limited electricity.
They need food not electronics.
And how many Native African e-books are there?
How are you going to do math on an ereader?
There are poor children in the US too.
Why don't you donate to your local community on the electronics?
