I don't need a glorified tablet. I need an e-reader. I don't know what I was expecting but this was not it.

In another month or so there will be a bunch of tablets out there. Ones that I can download apps for the Kindle and Nook and the like.

I am not a parent but I don't see myself paying $250 for a color e-reader for junior. It is too expensive. I wouldn't mind having color for reading magazines but I am not going to pay that much for a device just to read magazines.

And 8 hour battery life? Please, that is just insulting.
