Compare price of replacement approx 7" panels on LCD and eink. But not Apple or Samsung.
Also you can buy a decent phone or tablet without contract that far exceeds any ereader for €100 to €200.
There is very little electronics in a current ereader compared to an Oppo phone.
Only entry level ereaders are about the $100, but I agree now that Kindle Basic is 300 dpi rather than 167 dpi it's not bad. The Nia is nice even though the resolution a bit lower.
I just bought a 23″ 4K UHD monitor for about £170. Probably more electronics in it than an ereader.
