I haven't tried the DX. Ideally I'd like a monitor that was bigger than the standard 8.5x11 PDF page. The other use case for it being a monitor is ease of use. It is slightly difficult to transfer a PDF to a Kindle; not very difficult I know, but enough that I rarely do it. I think you are right about manufacturing scale. LCDs have such incredible scale I don't think e-ink could ever match, unless there was a combined e-ink LCD. --- Side note, that 13.3 e-ink kit looks suspiciously like the Dasung Paperlike form factor.

I got my dad an Amazon Kindle DX for Christmas 2013 - right around the time they discontinued it. The display still looks good today, though not as white as the latter-day handheld Kindles, and the product casing bends easily with slight pressure which makes the device feel cheap, though I appreciate it is very lightweight for its size. It'd be great if Apple's industrial design team did an e-ink iPad, they would be able to make it considerably thinner and sturdier.
