Good to know. I figured they'd be even more pricey than e-ink screens, which are already very expensive compared to LCD etc. (i.e. the price of the Que with it's limited functions being purely a reader vs. the iPad).

If they are truly cheaper (like that $329 rumored price above) that could be a boon. Not a lot of people are going to pay the $700+ for the Que when they could get an iPad for $500. Even more so when some android and other tablets start rolling out at likely lower prices for not having the Apple tax.

But if we can get some Pixel QI devices that can both do more than just display monochrome text and cost less than an iPad, they have a chance to do pretty well I think.
