Good question

If the dead-tree book dies, what will the poor read?

Let's try turning the question around: "how do you get get e-readers to everyone?"

[supergee]

That's a good question too.

Give them away in packets of cornflakes?

Make them a human right?

I'd want it to be pure text, though. Add multimedia and you could wind up with most of the people using it for first-person shooters.

Don't worry, the low frame rates will do what your Spencerian instincts cannot.

You've not tried to play a first-person shooter on an e-ink device, have you?

Obviously not, but I'm looking ahead.
