I hear ya, however, if you can only produce a device that costs as much as a multi-purpose device, you either make it multi-purpose or at least make its feature set so tight and stable and functional that it seems like a good value proposition. One way to go about it: If you cannot make “the system” (apps, expandability, etc.) work on the device, make the device work within “the system”, for example, by offering PC/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS apps that mirror your work on the Boox so you can distribute and organize your information from there (e.g. paste notes into Onenote, get highlights and annotations from PDFs and epubs, export your writing to your word processor etc.)
