$150 for ESP32-S3? Are you serious? My first e-book in ~2008 was much more powerful.

It sounds like most of the price is going towards the screen. Apparently sourcing e-ink screens isn't trivial.

ESP32-S3 seems rather properly sized computing power -wise for this kind of device. And it's quite low-power as well.

Granted there are some tasks where even this kind device could use some computing, like extracting, indexing and rendering pdfs.
