I'm 24. One of the things that may stop us from purchasing is the price of the reader. That being said, I don't see anyone around my age without an at least $200-$400 ipod with them. Really just depends on our desire for it. Sony Playstation 3 during the first 2 month of launch costs $699CAD and those who want it were able to afford it.

I am proud to say I don't own an ipod! That being said, I do own a ps3 (as well as a wii, 360, DS and psp) but I think I will value my Cybook the most.
It actually sort of makes me mad when people complain about the supposedly absurd prices of e-ink readers. It's just the way it usually is with new technology. Do you guys remember how expensive terrible laptops used to be? At any rate, I think books are one of the greatest pleasures and most valuable resources on the planet, so I can't see why you WOULDN'T want to carry around hundreds of them at one time. Personally I think hiring a servant to follow me 24/7 carrying all my books would be too expensive (not to mention socially awkward) so a Cybook seems like a good alternative :P
(Sorry to go on an off-topic rant, but I'm recently annoyed by some Fantasy book forums where people are terribly resistant to ebooks. It makes no sense!)
