I believe I have seen an ad for a $49 e-reader.
none that you -- or anyone else -- should want to buy. not if you want it to work, and want to buy books for it, and want it to continue to be supported down the line... indeed, you'd probably be better off _burning_ $49... either way you'd lose $49, but at least if you burn it, you won't lose any _time_ in addition to your money. these days, if you want an e-reader, you have 3 choices: 1. ipad 2. kindle 3. nook a month ago, i would've included kobo on that list too, but they were just sold to an asian company, and there is thus some uncertainty about their future direction... -bowerbird p.s. sony is not listed because their future _is_ clear.
