Thank you, that's what I'd feared.

If companies can make budget book readers, I don't see why they necessarily shouldn't make a budget manga reader though. With its own manga store, it might be able to find a market niche (perhaps). Obviously big companies won't do it because it would undercut their own premium readers.

I just find it infuriating that when all I want is the same hardware I bought new for $100 in 2016, the price today hasn't come down at all and has in some cases actually gone up. Instead of lowering the price they just add more mostly useless features (lights, waterproof, storage space for more books than you could ever possibly read even if you spent every day reading for the rest of your life, etc).

I'll try and get another Glo HD second hand.
