I think that's exactly been Amazon's big innovation. They made really good ereaders affordable.
Of course that's a two edged sword. While it means most people can afford a first rate device for reading it also means nobody else can really compete with them so we don't get a lot of choice in the devices that are available.
Amazon is, in a sense, kind of a benevolent dictator in the ebook market. They provide a really first rate ereading environment and we better like it or else.
