What makes e-book readers expensive?

An interesting question, asked by this guy (or girl). Quote:

Quote:
With all this [e ink] technology, you can understand why e-book readers are so expensive now. However, I do have a question for everyone to think about. Notice how through technological advancements, we are able to create paperlike reading in a paperless device that costs a big chunk of change. It seems that no matter how far we try and get away from the physical paper books, something about it always pulls us back. So is it worth spending an enormous amount of money on something that just wants to emulate the physical paper filled book?
What do you think? For me, it was definitely worth the money to buy the Sony Reader. But of course tastes differ...
