i have never wondered how they are made, but I have wondered why they are so expensive. Android tablets start at like 20 quid these days, but e-ink has really held its price.

Here’s something from Google.

E Ink panels are costly because they are challenging to manufacture and because several significant patents have just recently expired.

Also The E-ink corporation is like the only game in town haha
