When enough companies get on the bandwagon, competition will drive down the price & make them more readily available. Another example...how 'bout them there portable telephone things? Again, Big bucks in the beginning, few choices...now, they're give-aways!
I, for one, look forward to it!! Now, if the format will just get settled down.....

they still cost over $1000 a year (our family contract comes to over 200 bucks a month)
prices should drop slightly. but still, not enough people read. I don't expect the prices to drop too much. reading is not listening to music. I would say there are 10 people who listen to music for every one person who reads.
maybe 1 in 4 adults read atleast 5 books a year.
ebook readers are really targeted to people who read more than 20 a year. which I think it closer to 1 in 20 people
