The right device at last?

I was reading on TeleRead that Astak is looking to possible break the 
$200 price barrier with their new e-book reader.

The company plans to offer three versions, 5 inch, 6 inch and a 9.7 
inches. The 5 inch version has been rumored to cost $150 although the 
company declined to state an exact price at this moment.

Could this be the right device at the right price to finally get e-
books and e-reading into the hands of more consumers? Even at below 
$200 it would be a $100 less than the Sony Reader MSRP.

Here's the TeleRead write up with more details.
