A Kindle Paperwhite and a Kobo Aura cost $140 and $110 respectively. The cheapest Lenovo Ideatab costs $95. It has a camera, twice the memory, twice the ram, twice the processors(each one being faster on its own), glass screen, has speakers and a mic. The only thing the e-readers has that isn't twice inferior to the cheaper tablet is its unique display.
Is the e-ink display so expensive that the e-readers higher price can be justified even though it lacks in all other aspects?
