Obviously the manufacturers think that once the price gets to USD 400 or 500, people would rather buy a tablet than an e-ink device.

There may be a market, but obviously from the production side nobody wants to make the jump. Plastic Logic was the best example. If the market was there, why did they pull it? Nobody is willing to bet their money on such a product -- it is as simple as that.
