It depends on "when".
As time goes by and technology gets cheaper (it always gets cheaper), features will cost less and less. I paid my first mobile phone, years ago, three times more than my current mobile, and my current mobile has twice the features the first had.
So, I think, a reader paid $50 in 2011 will just have the "next page" and "previous page" button and read just 2 formats, while a reader paid $50 in 2020 will have even wireless and dictionary support, and ability to tak notes.
For color e-ink and touch screen, add another $100 to the bunch not because that's what they will cost but because for the last years "add touch screen" has always meant "add $100" (or "add €100 in europe"
