I'm thinking that we might even see free eReaders one day. Or, at least, eReaders where the the cost has been reduced. This might end up being through a wireless carrier, much like is done with cell phones today.

No. That which is not at peril cannot be saved.

Ahi,

The topic at hand is how offering free content on e-readers encourages readers to explore new titles and authors.

It has nothing to do with self-publishing or the death of the print book.
