I wanted to build my own e-ink tablet as I prefer OSS. The issue that makes e-ink tablets not worth building?

The expensive displays that cost between $150-$300 for 7-8 inch screens, excluding shipping.

I would like to have an e-Ink notebook for professional reading/writing/editing (no video/games).

ARM, 8 GB RAM, 64 GB persistent storage (SSD or SD card. 10" or 11" e-ink screen, good-quality physical keyboard, light, rugged, portable). Should be OSS powered, of course (Linux preferred).
