But that is the price. eInk screens this big are expensive and so the device is expensive.
That doesn't mean it doesn't suck that it's expensive, or that Amazon should have subsidized it or whatever, but the expensive claim to me only means something in context.
Someone has a $2000 laptop you can say it is expensive because it's a known quantity - you can get a laptop for a few hundred bucks. When the only existing eink screens this big were almost twice the price of the Kindle DX, it is not expensive at all.
New tech, high prices. None of us buying one would do so if we didn't feel the value was worth it - we could wait a couple of years when the price is much lower.
