I'm afraid I disagree. For many people who are buying it certainly won't be their first eInk device. It will be my third, for example.

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.

The market will determine whether or not the price is right in the longer term. As I've said before, though, I certainly don't think that anyone has the right to criticise Bookeen for their pricing policy - they have an absolute right to charge whatever they wish to whomever they wish, just as the customer hs a right to decide whether or not to buy at that price.

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

I'm afraid that I honestly don't see WHY you feel alienated. You don't have to buy a Gen3 if you don't wish to; there are a number of alternate products available to you.
