I really agreed with this, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. Those e-ink screens are just too expensive still. For now I think the only way you'd get a sub-$100 device would be using a different (lesser IMO) screen. Problem there is people wouldnt' be getting the full ebook reader effect and would probably not be as attracted. I could be wrong of course.
