I just don't agree with this guy Cory at all. I also don't want my book reader to turn into a swiss army knife either. I love that all my PRS-505 does is display books/mangas. (though I really think they can work on adding zip/rar so people can add their mangas more easily)
I love that the battery life lasts for over a week, and I can't imagine why color is necessary for reading. (I guess if I was reading comics on it that might be nice but most of my mangas are in black and white anyways)
Basically, I think there is a market for ebook readers, yes it would help if the price dropped but whoever said it needed to drop to 10 dollars is being very unrealistic. Good MP3 players still cost 30-60 dollars, and that's after years of being out on the market. Ipods aren't cheap either. What needs to drop in price is the ebooks as well as fixing the bugs in current devices. (maybe there should be a wide range of ebooks designed for different purposes, since it seems like everyone wants to turn their ebook reader into a mini-laptop)
