@ Bill: I think you are wrong in one of your assumptions, that people will be content to read books on their iphone/ipod touch. For starters, yes, it will be sufficent at first, but if you are "serious" about your reading, you will soon tire of concentrating on the small screen and look around for alternatives. And thats where the e-Ink devices comes in. But I do agree that the e-reading market is just in it's infancy and it needs to "mature" before it will be adopted by the large masses.

And before that happens we need a bit more development for the devices.

As in faster devices, even better screens (not necesarily bigger), and ease of use improved.
