Most of the employed of us would be net tax payers and would be (I'm guessing) unwilling to go to the much lower salary that would make us net basic-incomers (even marginally). For me, I'd either save/spend less -- or be more

Can e-ink handle the kind of graphics a MacBook would generate? I mostly mean the speed, not colors or resolution. Turning a page on Kindle appears to be an expensive operation -- what would dragging a window be? It would be easier -- and

If by design, you mean what it looks like: You + themeforest == nice looking front-end for your site. But, worry more about Design meaning "how it works", trade-offs, and what job the end user is trying to get done.
