To be honest I don't really find them prohibitively expensive if you count the value you'll get from them over the years. I have both a Kobo Libra 2 and an Android Boox Page, which I bought for different use cases. I see them both lasting me many years. My previous Kobo Aura One lasted me 7 years in itself before I sold it 2nd hand. My reading skyrocketed once I bought an e-reader.
Reminds me of the old mp3 player days before the iPod came in and dominated that market.
