What's Next for e-Readers?

E-readers are not yet commodity items, although they are selling briskly. This year's unit sales are predicted to be twice those of last year. And, in many ways, e-book technology is still in its early stages. E-book file compatibility is still being sorted out, and future versions of e-readers will offer many features not widely seen today, including color displays, video capability, ruggedness, and flexibility.
