Than take that (good) screen and make a basic, simple (and functional) e-book reader, as I've listed above..
I think cutting off those useless (for its main purpose) features can impact both on the hw (simpler circuitry and less resources needed--->
cheaper and less performant hw, less heat, less "connectors", maybe thinner and lighter case) and the sw (non affecting the price)..
In your opinion what % of the iLiad price is due to the e-paper screen? More than 50%?
