> Surely if it’s much cheaper volumes also go up massively…

No, that's not true. If you're making a black and white screen, and you sell it at the same price as a color screen, nobody will buy it. Volumes won't change if your product isn't better than something equivalently priced.

But the E-ink screen is much better in the regards that software developers want. Colour is not necessarily one of those regards.
Either this makes little sense, or it is (or may be) unclear. «Your product [must be] better than something equivalently priced» /and that performs the same function/. Now we are talking about large bistable colour displays - which have no competition.
I bought it and it's an amazing product for coding.
