I remember buying my first CD-ROM player. I had to pay around (converted) 150 euro for it. It was a 4 speed player. Now, how much do you pay for a DVD-ROM player?
Prices will go down, as soon as there are more and more readers on the market. Right now, you have the choice of a few readers, most are 6". Once the size range goes up and the amount of producers go up, the prices will go down. And slowly, but surely, more and more books are put into digital formats. And even if people will start to read less novels, I think the digital newspapers and magazines will become a big part of the digital e-reader scene.
