Now you can purchase a programable scientific calculator for about $20. Eventually ebook readers will also be greatly reduced in price as technological advances are made.
Main difference is that the technology used in these ebook readers is not new and not expensive. Technologically speaking, they're inferior to most PDAs and cell phones. It's not the build cost that is driving market prices with these devices. Unfortunately, technology is rarely what determines the value of a product when it comes to marketing that product.
