With time it will get cheaper.

The average 6" e-reader still weighs more than the average paperback, and about twice as much as the Wexler Flex ONE, so I think there's still room for improvement there. And if not improving/competing on weight then on what? All other selling points (e.g. refresh rate, resolution, contrast, battery life) likewise seem 'good enough' and would appear to offer far less scope for dramatic further improvement. And if you cannot offer some dramatic improvement, consumers will have little reason to upgrade their e-readers before they physically wear out -- meaning far slower sales.
