Here is the article: marvells-new-chips-will-bring-cost-of-ebooks-to-under-100/.

They make a huge claim to drop the price of eBook Readers to under $100. This claim is very aggressive and really a long term goal but the title makes it seem just around the corner.

What is just around the corner is a new arm processor with e-INK controller capability built in which should reduce the price a little but not nearly as much as they claim. Nor is the screen change going to be instantaneous as they claim. But the article in interesting none the less and does provide an alternative to the Epson controller.
