Android tablets are already cheaper than Ereaders.
As stated earlier though, an E-ink didsplay takes some beating imho. It gives longer battery life, and better reading conditions (easier on the eye) than back-lit devices.
I'm pleased to see that ereaders are coming down in price but that for me is not a priority. I also don't need my ereader to take notes, display photos, connect via anything more than USB, be touch sensitive. What I'm looking for is colour, and bigger screens. Lets have a proper comic reader, that works from e-ink. Make the machine smaller, make the battery last longer.
Innovation is the way forward so far as the ereader of the future is concerned. But without complicating the functions. More isn't always better.
