I'm surprised eInk technology hasn't fallen in price given its huge applications to supermarket electronic price tags and digital signage.

I've been progressively switching all my reading to electronic format (my London house is much smaller than my former San Francisco one, and I don't have room for my former bookshelves). Apple Books allows you to pay authors for their work but its DRM is fairly easy to strip, the geofencing is a bit more annoying.

I was looking at ebook readers at Selfridges yesterday and they are all in the £300–700 range (Kobo and Remarkable), the same price as a full-featured bigger-screened colour LCD tablet like an iPad, which is just insane, not to mention some like the Remarkable require a pay-forever subscription, no thanks.
