> Eink has been around for several years now

Several years? They've been around for 25 years!

> but apparently they are unable to just make a big panel?

Yes, that's how supply and demand works. Very few people are willing to buy big electrophoretic panels with all their limitations so there's no demand, so there's no volume, so there's no justification for a factory for it so the stackup for it is handmade, hand kerfed and such so the price will be high.

> That combined with their idiotic pricing scheme makes me think their management is just stupid

What pricing scheme are you talking about? I'd love to see the details you are basing your judgement on.
