Sheet note: Ranked by editorial performance points per dollar, with zero brand-recognition weight. Sticky is a Seeed e-paper note/dashboard display, not a stock e-reader: install CrossInk or CrossPoint and add a microSD card; its $49.90 price excludes that card. X3 is the inexpensive ready-made reader; X4 Pro adds touch and adjustable warm/cool light. Xteink and Sticky cannot run Android reading apps. The listed Android models support Google Play; Viwoods may require enabling it. Color models have 300 PPI monochrome and 150 PPI color, with a darker background. Palma 2 uses a Taiwan-only TWD listing converted to USD; Palma 2 Pro uses Hong Kong stock. Minimal Phone is one US mint resale listing. Prices exclude destination-dependent shipping, taxes and import charges. PocketBook Q is 5.84 inches but not yet buyable; Picco and Palma 3 are unavailable. S4, used Hisense and white-label verification gaps are documented in SOURCES.md. Battery figures are nominal capacity, not measured endurance; Bigme Pro weight varies across manufacturer pages.

MMX score: editorial bench, 0 to 100, per channel. Value index: points per dollar, scaled so the channel's best ratio = 100.
