Actually, the iRiver Hd failed mostly because it had an XGA screen but did nothing to optimize font display so it didn't look any better than the SVGA models with tuned fonts and good antialiasing.
And because it had generic reading software with no special features.
And because it tied to the Google store at a time Google wasn't even actively promoting ebooks.

(Four, if you count on relying on Target to sell the things, but that was a dropped third strike.)
