eInk doesn't publicly release prices. It's a "contact sales" kind of business.

Visionect's 9.7" e-ink sign, which is their version of a digital picture frame, costs $400.[1] That's a product, not a development kit. A comparable LCD digital picture frame from WalMart costs $70. Color, too.

Hi there, Ursa from Visionect here. Just a slight clarification: the 9.7 Sign is not a consumer product in the sense of a digital picture frame. Rather it is a sort-of development kit, a blank canvas device on which companies can develop their own products. So geared towards professional use. Plus, the battery lasts four months;)
