You're absolutely right. Total overkill and way, way too expensive for use just as an e-reader. But it's a place to start. A chicken and egg thing. There won't be any affordable open e-ink devices until there's a demand. And there won't be any demand until you can do something with them. Like use them with Calibre OS as the platform for your e-reading. Maybe with Calibre OS pre-installed.
