Yep. It think that is where Sony is trying to go with the PRS 300, but not to the level indicated in the research yet...
I'm a recent ebook convert - Sony 505. And the thing that pushed me over the edge was the freely available classic literature (much of which is on my reading list), the somewhat reasonable price of some ebooks (e.g. < $10 U.S.), and the ability to electronically check out books from my local library.
So for me it was the (cheap) content that justified the purchase of a "single function" $300 device.
