Yeah I didn't mean the screen and battery life can't eventually be as good.
But cost will always be higher probably (regardless of demand) just for the need for more power, more bundled software to do more things etc.
Vs. a simple e-reader which needs no extra software and not much processing power.
So I can still see simple e-readers selling for VERY cheap even a decade down the road as a simple to use alternative for people who just want something to read on and don't need/want any other features.
