Pretty soon the government is going to start freaking out about the loss of paper books because the portable e-reader devices are unavailable to low income families. I wouldn't be surprised to see an e-book tax created to help subsidize publishers to keep printing books at a loss, or to provide e-readers to those under a certain wage bracket.

Yeah, no. Paper books aren't going anywhere anytime soon. CDs (hell, records) are still around, even though many people have moved on to MP3 players. Some people just don't understand technology, others prefer the feel of real books.
There's no way any government would subsidize these at all, except maybe for schools. They're getting cheaper already. The Kindle was $400 when it came out. Now you can get a significantly better model for $150. It's daft to think that they won't get even cheaper.
