Do we really need stand alone eBook readers for the price of $400?

TECHNOLOGY. .

As if Kindle wasn't enough, here comes the closest competitor to Amazon’s overrated e-Book reader ‘Kindle’ and it's called JetBook.

I was wondering about the price of Kindle when it was launched and now I am thinking again. Why these devices are priced so high (for a stand alone eBook reader)? They are nothing more than a monochrome screen with some cheap processor. And the fact that Kindle was sold out in just 5.5 hrs is as surprising as its price tag.

They cost almost what EEE PC does, hopefully someone like ASUS will come out with their own version of eBook reader that is priced decently (and deservingly).
