Why aren't eBook readers following the console strategy? Undercut your competition and put out a competitive eBook reader at $150. Shatter the Kindle and nook (lower case "n"). You make your money up in the selling of content. Tack on an extra buck or two per title. Over the life of the device users that buy more than 50 books pay off the subsidy. Everything beyond that is gravy.<br><br>50 books for an avid reader is nothing. Should be able to go through that in 6 months to a year.<br><br>I just happen to believe that the $250 price point is keeping people on the sidelines. Once that drops to $100 - $150 I bet you will see a huge adoption rate.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bjsguess]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 16th 2009 3:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Borders and Kobo join forces for e-reader device they can call their own]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/borders-and-kobo-join-forces-for-e-reader-device-they-can-call-t/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/15/borders-and-kobo-join-forces-for-e-reader-device-they-can-call-t/</guid><description><![CDATA[So this is the same Borders that just went into Administration in the UK?
