Yes and no.
Yes, I can sell to you an e-ink display, the cost is more or less, 100 euro (translate it in $), plus the transport.
No, because you need also to have some piece of software to reload, and a tool to do it. This because every display comes with a "waveform" that is a file containing a sort of calibration of the display itself. Last, you need another tool to calibrate a trimmer.
Without the waveform and the calibration, your display will show a very strong "ghost effect" and your reader becomes almost unusable.
The same is valid if you get the display from another reader. Even in this case you need the correct waveform to reload.
All the readers, including Kindle, Sony, Bebook, Hanlin and so on, uses the same display, and all of them needs to reload the waveform. The way to do this is obviously different between each manifacturrer and probably needs different tools.
Sorry
