Its right for those people who do not want to wait any longer to get on board with an e-ink device and so will pay any price. The first rush if you like.

Whether it continues to be the right price I guess depends on the price that Sony set when they launch in the UK and that Amazon set when/if the Kindle materialises (and assuming being Amazon that it will be available outside the US). Also their price differential is wide enough that buying the cybook from the States through a reseller (NAEB?? hint hint ) could be an option too.

They have certainly managed to alienate some customers, me included, when they didn't need to.
