It *is* going to happen.
It *hasn't* happened yet.
For now, the best candidate is still the as-yet unannounced Jetbook Mini.
Second best candidate is the somewhat vaporish Copia.
Both are LCD-based.
For eink, the betting is on Kindle:

Actually, it has happened. Kmart has the Augen "The Book" for $99 (regular price). It was even on sale for $89 for the first week it was available.
Unfortunately, it is an LCD reader, and not eink.
