jee: Edge is developed with students, scientist and researchers in mind. I think it should not be compared with "ordinary" ereaders, since it's actually a netbook and a ereader. As for the battery life, with every new firmware update, we get more battery life. It's about 20h for eink reader with constant annotating, drawing etc.

Yes, with the "Dingo" firmware update the battery life seems to have improved indeed. But, as you both say, it's a heavy device for deskreading in eInk
and working with the lcd-side simultaneously and a class of it's own. Pricewise it'll never be attractive to the broad market in the EU anyway.
And it really does depend on your special needs which device you should choose ...
