But I think that people must be prepared for the possibility of losing support rather more quickly than if they (say) bought a Kindle.

I spend almost 45 EUROs for the NST-nolight including shipping (Had to get it from ebay as the stores had no stock). Even at that price that felt like a real steal. This is my first ereader, and I am an avid reader. So, with excellent battery and a solid body, this was one of the best spend money. No issues whatsoever.
So for me at least, price diff. is less than £10, which considering the benefits of the light, is completely justified.
A kindle sells at £109 currently, you could buy 2 glowlights with that kind of money and still keep £10 for a movie or dinner. There might be some users who are willing to shell out that much money for a closed platform, but for me, I would rather have 2 glowlights.
