I'm with Fredi.

Yes, it is WAY overpriced, but you can't compare an e-book reader with a laptop or PDA. Its like apples and oranges. E-book readers are MUCH more comfortable to read on, and have a battery life many times that of your typical PDA/tablet/laptop. It would be near impossible to read a novel on anything but an e-bookreader without stopping to recharge the batteries. And again, they are not harsh on the eyes.

That said, I do agree that the price is probably above what early adopters are even willing to pay. Drop it a couple hundred and I'm game (sure beats lugging my textbooks around). Maybe iLiad can drop some of the over the top tech specs (and get a new name whyile they are at it).
