Don't despair guys ! Remember what happened when it was found out that printers costing $500 actually cost $50.

The companies developing e-book readers now will have r&d to reimburse. Natural. Then everything will change, but we have to buy now to make sure it does. Devices made the Iliad way are an other beast. Hand and overbuilding have a price that can not go down much. But devices like Sony's and Hanlin's have potential. Of course Sony does not have a history of such "largesses".

I continue to think that everything will move only when other "populist" companies (samsung,panasonic etc.) come aboard .
