I love the idea, but the non-flat top, and the display on the flat top kill it (and admittedly, most cheap kitchen scales) for me. If I can't put a big bowl on it and still see the readout it's useless to me.

I haven't used one so not going to pick one to link, but a quick search finds scales that claim to run on ambient light.

Based on a 30 year old calculator I have, I would expect them to work fine.
