200 euros is a lot. I own a remarkable tablet, and it can do a lot more with a bigger screen I wouldn’t be interested in spending that much since I can’t really do much other than look at my calendar. I’m either on the move, or in front of a computer, so I don’t see if there’s a good fit for this device in my life

I totally see your point of view regarding the price. What price would you say is right? > I’m either on the move, or in front of a computer, so I don’t see if there’s a good fit for this device in my life It's possible that the device isn't for you then, I agree.

  Boox Poke3 is a 6" e-ink display that runs Android 10, as a general-purpose computing device, and is available for 160 EUR. Since you're selling a significantly less usable device (it only does one thing), I wouldn't want to pay more than 80 EUR for this. It's cute, but... when the price of the product is dominated by the screen, it's hard to sell a single-use device.

    >when the price of the product is dominated by the screen, it's hard to sell a single-use device. IMO if it doesn't have more than one UI menu, the UI ought to be built into the hardware - because AIUI e-ink screen costs scale geometrically with size. In other words, if you can e.g. break the five/seven days of the week into five/seven separate e-ink screens of the same surface area (not counting bezels), they'll be cheaper than a single e-ink screen of the same surface area. As a bonus, giving each day its own screen means you can put a nice clean margin between them that's not made of expensive e-ink despite being left empty the entire time. IMO that's the only way the price would drop to less than half the price of an e-reader of the same size.
