This had to happen, but I am a little disappointed - I want to buy one but the price is too high to fit in my finances, still.
I don't clearly understand why this didn't succeed even half as much as its smaller siblings. Maybe if they drop the keyboard to make it smaller, sales might get a boost.
I think the combination of large sized reader + high price + thin profile (which makes it look susceptible to breaking) = scares off many potential buyers as the risk is pretty high? Maybe on a subconscious level.
