Nice response Liviu 5
I remember buying a printer some 15 years ago. I paid around $1000.00 for it, only to learn the following year, that it cost $35.00 to manufature; wages materials r&d and infras included. This is when mistrust towards tech companies set in. Sony is in any market for big bucks. This is why they always steer towards niche markets to ensure temporary non competitivity. Yes prices will fall, but not for a good while. We have to buy the prs-500 in great numbers to ensure that small players, like Samsung or others, get in the playing field. I'm afraid, as you judiciously point out that e-book reader fans will have to bite the bullet or be verry verry verry...patient.
