When you think about it, these readers will become the Mr. Cofffee's and CD players of 21st century.
Remember in 1984, when CD players were heavy as hell and made mostly of metal parts? They were typically priced at close to $1000.
And remember when the automatic coffee machines were very expensive? It's now easier to just throw them away and buy a new one. (Or ship the damaged ones to a third world country.)
I predict ebook Readers will be like Mp3 players: cheap as all get-out and as abundant as lint in a belly button. (This is already happening with tablets.)
So: just buy them for a few bucks and donate them to the nearest literacy program. Or to a nephew or cousin.
