Good points (as usual), kacir and fjtorres.
When people ask me about my PB302 - "Is that the Kindle?" my short answer is, "No, it's a PocketBook 302. Kindles and Nooks are like Honda Civics, this is the Mercedes SLS of the ebook world." If they're interested in why I feel that way, I show off some of the features and explain the open nature of the OS and the format support.
I don't think I've sold any, though. Everyone I know personally either already have an ereader (PB302 wasn't my first reader, either) or don't consider themselves in the market. I've made my point on GoodReads several times, but everyone ended up getting a Kindle "because I just can't justify the price of all those extra features." My guess is that a significant number of people will buy an entry level reader, and after they come to rely on it, realize that the cost of the additional features is absolutely worthwhile.
