"Now, when we get a decent $100 tablet, that’s when the e-reader market might start to feel the pinch. The profit margin will be so thin by that point that tablet features might show up on e-reader becuase there is little money saved by leaving them out.
By that point, though, I’m not sure we’ll still be calling them tablets or e-readers. The market will have changed to much."
I pretty much agree with thism but I think the price point will drop down to $50, $75, or even $19.99.
look at theportable music market: I remember when the cassette tape Sony Walkman was hundreds of dollars and eventually you could buy one at the gas station for $10. We've already seen that with mp3 players: you can get a 1G screenless version for $3.
Tablets/readers will enjoy the same (d)evolution, and more likely at the mp3 player speed, not the Walkman speed.
