I'm not saying there is never a need for more space, I'm saying that if you are designing a cheap-as-possible device to compete with the basic Kindle, it is a pointless extra cost to incur.

Especially when that 212 dpi screen costs more than the Basic's 167dpi screen.
It doesn't matter exactly what it costs to build the Nia, the Basic will always cost less to build. Trying to undercut Basic is just giving money away.
Basic is what the name says: the cheapest ereader anybody can hope to sell for a reasonable profit. It's the market floor.
