In fact, I am not sure I understand the specs. Is the glass mentioned the underlying layer (the 9.7'' does have a glass backplane, the 10.3'' a flexible one) or a top layer? I understood the latter, from

* Covered by tempered glass with 7H hardness, the screen is resistant to any scratch

But then the list also goes

* Anti-glare layer on top of the screen maintains the readability of E Ink display even directly in the sunlight

so I do not get the riddle: a topmost glass layer, which would defy readability when not in darkness (so always), but grant scratch resistance, covered with an anti-glare layer, which restores a screen as reflection-free but can hardly be said scratch resistant?

Almost 400$ for the device, and the display module is sold for 250$ by E-Ink to the public.
"Lower" than once expected return, probably; "low", probably not.
Neither part nor product are cheap in both absolute and relative terms.

The 10.3'' screen is over three times better and only costs 350$ vs the 250$ of the 9.7'', which I would call overpriced - with the only unanswered matter of the production costs.
