Or right possibly now as so many people have devices that allow them to install the kindle app with no additional expense.

So maybe the only thing stopping a lot of people from laying out cash for ebooks is that they still prefer paper. A cheap kindle knockoff will be unlikely to change that.

Of course kindle knockoffs might just start showing up in Dollar stores next week, and all the bargain hunters will start madly buying ebooks just because they got a bargain ereader. Who knows.

Why not once you get rid of DRM? After all I can buy mp3 downloads from Amazon or even Apple and play them on any mp3 player? Why NOT books?
