Rest assured, there will be $50 MSRP e-ink readers that make Kindle 3s and PRS-650s and Nook 2s and what have you look like stone tablets.

That sounds suspiciously like my brother-in-law, a pro software wizard, who many years ago (15+ years ago-ish) told me " computers nowadays are like the Model-T Ford - just you wait, not long now, they will be simplicity itself,,,".

(This was in reply to my constant bleat of "why do computers have to be so complicated, have so many wires, and be so incomprehensible to normal people".)



I ask him every year now, and he does have the grace to mumble a bit !
