Come on Christmas is coming. If you really loved us you'd give us all one for free.
It's an understandable mis perception that if you can sell the Deluxe edition for $75 cheaper you could sell the basic for $50 cheaper. I understand that part of that $75 is no spare battery and sourcing a cheaper 1GB SD card.
I think you've made a good choice for a real user configuration rather then selling at an artificial low price and then have people find out it doesn't have a case. (I wouldn't want to use mine without one). Unless you're planning on using it for MP3's then the 1GB is more then you'll need for books and future firmware upgrades. Bookeen claims 10,000 books on the 2GB so 5,000 is plenty.
Even if you think you need to take more books with you browsing and search speeds just aren't fast enough to handle it.
