And, yes, thanks to Pixel Qi and E Ink, some interesting possibilities are ahead to reduce hardware prices and sharpen the view. Exactly when will these good things happen? As I've said before, who's to say for sure precisely when? But we should be looking ahead to the time when e-book technology is going to get much better.

Not anywhere near the $50 (which won't buy you a good diner over here anymore), but I've seen Cool-ER's in mainstream electronics stores for under 300 Euro nowadays. When I got my iRex iLiad a few years ago, you could only get it at a specific bookstore chain, not mention at a somewhat different price point. To me this means that e-readers are becoming 'normal'.
