I don't know, but whatever all this ends up meaning, I think I'm comfortable predicting that it will shake things up, and I'm optimistic that the results will be good for the e-reading world.
Now it's y'all's turn. What did I miss? Where am I wrong? And what should I be thinking.

Nice post with a great summary and good questions. I would like to agree with you that the big change may be on our doorstep right now. The technology is getting better fast and may be good enough now. And I'm not at all worried about consumers as I am sure they will eat this stuff up. But the deep dark secret that I wish someone would tell us is: Do book publishers care? Will they open up and sell us their books as ebooks or will they continue to be so concerned over possible lost income that they keep us all in the dark ages? I'd love to hear from some CEOs over beer confide in someone what they think the near future (say, the next five years) is really like to look like.
