I didn't vote. I don't care for the options. I go with Robert's idea:

The poll needs to be edited to have an option that says, none of the above all options too expensive

The more units you build, the cheaper your parts cost. Yes, I vote for the $100 reader. Sponsorship is a good idea for some. I thought that was what Amazon was going to do with the phantom Kindle.
If you really like the sponsorship idea, visit
Filament Books and see their reader. It is basically the ebookwise-1150 under a different name. For $199 you get the reader and two books a month for a year. If the value of the reader is $109.95 as
stated here, your eBooks cost you $3.71 each.
If I were buying now and were budget-conscious, I would find that very attractive.
