If done properly, yes.
We're not far from it, either; we'll probably see a $49 *new* Reader sometime this year with WiFi and rechargeable batteries (and no subsidy gimmicks) so a $29 blisterpack reader designed for AAA batteries should be doable by next summer. No Wifi, minimal Storage. If they use the new 4.3in screens the thing might fit in airport vending machines.
