Hi,
What problem does BlueRay and the other new hi def dvd format solve that current dvd's do not?
If you put the question this way, I think I can come up with derisive things about any new tech. Why replace horses and buggies with cars that go 20 km per hr and are so unreliable, as it was until Ford say came up in the 20's? After all horses were tested through human history...
This question about ebooks is so ridiculous that it does not deserve an answer.
If you want to predict that SonyReader will be DOA, it is a different issue, but at say 350$ I think it is priced at the upper end of acceptability, and that the price needs to come down to the 100-150$ range for broad acceptance. But technology is getting better, tablets/laptops are getting cheaper, so I see the price coming down significantly on eink too. Also even though still mostly drm'ed, there is much more content available, and with the spread of the Net everywhere it is far easier to propagate that content whether legally or not.
Liviu
