I have always thought about developing "my own" e-Book reading device, but the hefty price point of the e-ink development kit scared me off.

Buy a used PRS-500/505. Tear it apart to get the display module. I'd go with the 505 as it has a visplex display module. And then you can have a complete OI (OpenInkpot) device that has custom features YOU want.
