Lower the price, please. You are never going to get people to spend $300 on a device and then and additional $10-20 on reading material when they can get the paper version for $10-$30.

Where the eReader would be useful is not in books, but rather the disposable reading market like newspapers and magazines. Fields where production are relatively high compared to the attention spent on it. Most people read the paper within and hour or two and then discard it. Magazines, a week at the most and usually discarded.

Having a periodical subscription to an eReader, where can get the updated news on a centralized device/location automatically each morning would be worth it.

It would be great to grab the eReader, open it up for an hour to read the paper, and then close it until tomorrow. People are not going to sit in front of one for several hours to read a book. Get some newspaper companies on board like the NYTimes, Tribune Company, and the Wall Street journal. Sell the subscription for the same price as the regular paper and offer the reader for ~$100 and I think a lot of people would think it is the perfect thing for that ride to work or in the morning. ]]>Jul 26th 2007 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/
Yeah I'm surprised it's sale isn't being blocked by the paper industry lobby, or the printing press operators union...

If it could also play mp3s, it might even be worth the price (well, almost).]]>Jul 30th 2007 7:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/

I don't get the gripe about colour and backlighting. Most of the things I'd use an eBook/PDA for (novels, calendar, address book, dictionary, textbooks) don't require colour, and I'd happily sacrifice backlit colour for the superior readability of an e-paper display. Squinting at LCDs all day strains my eyes too much already.]]>Jul 27th 2007 9:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/]]>Jul 27th 2007 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/Jul 27th 2007 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/Aug 2nd 2007 5:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/

so far seems they have the table 'dutched' to cover all the different readers...]]>Aug 4th 2007 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/
I like the disposable comment above. Magazines and Newspapers would be an ideal content. Think inkjet printer market where one gives away the hardware and makes money on the refills.

Actual novels will still cost a lot because you must compensate the author for thier time and creativity.

Am I the only one who used to watch "The world of tomorrow" in the late sixties and is really pissed that it hasn't come to pass?]]>Aug 26th 2007 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/26/cybook-gen3-e-book-reader-enters-production-coming-in-september/Sep 3rd 2007 5:38PM
