Quite frankly ereader technology really should plateau at some point, for environmental reasons. It's a device dedicated to recreate a non-digital experience; it doesn't need keep advancing to infinity like personal computing hardware. Despite our referring to paper as 'dead tree books,' ereaders have little, if any, ecological high ground to stand on. The amount of chemicals, water, non-renewable metals and fossil fuels ultimately used to create an ereader is significant. Top that off with yet another electronic device and its battery filling up landfills.
