Cost per size of screen

Hi all,

Under the gross over-generalization that all devices are equal and it is the screen size and price that matter I did a very quick calculation on the cost per mm^2 of screen. Here is what we get:
V3: 0,028
PRS-505: 0,028
PRS-700: 0,037
iLiad: 0,030 and 0,035 (two devices)
Digital Reader: 0,020 and 0,023 and 0,026 (three devices)
D00111: 0,033
STK-101: 0,039
Cybook Gen3: 0,032
EB-900: 0,021

Conclusions (again under the gross assumption that everything else is the same; which I doesn't stand). The newer/newest models has the cheapest cost of screen real estate ares. Reader is the cheapest even in its most expensive configuration (with the exception of the EB-900 but this is yet to come).

Do you thing its possible to factor in the device differences and get a more representative measurement.

Looking forward to comments

Thank you very, very much.
Now I finally found an excuse to buy the cheapest(*) of them all ;-)

(*) by cheapest I mean price per square meter(**)
(**) You should not be that modest
