I put my hopes on the improved hardware! 4GB MLC flash costs next to nothing, I wonder why none seem to have something close to this.
The controller chips board and the housing can be made very cheap, if it's just made in plastic.
The e-ink display is the only thing that costs, but I thought they vamped up production since last year, no?
The new EZ Reader Pocket PRO 5" devide will support a 16GB SD card. I'm not sure if this is the same as the MLC you speak of. The controller is the new EPSON with lightning fast page turns.

So yeah, the hardware is becoming faster, storage is becoming greater, soon the production of the screens will be increased with less overhead.
