I wish the ebook reader industry would adopt the 'Gillette' marketing
approach. The current crop of devices are WAY to expensive. Give away
the reader, and sell the books for a slightly higher price. Should work
as well for ebooks as for printers, and razor blades.

The obvious problem is tie-in, to ensure cost is recovered.
The postpaid cell phone model might be better.
