To me the price of a Kindle is cheap but then I've always been a bit of a gadget junkie and prefer to spend what I have on electronic devices rather than most of my female friends who spend their cash on hair, makeup, jewelery and clothes.
Personally I love the Kindle and am a massive fan but it doesn't quite cover all bases for me personally.
The big things it misses for me are:
- Library support so I can download and read library books on my Kindle
- can't read epub files without conversion to another format
- lack of notepad - why when the kindle has a perfectly good keyboard is there no notepad app included?
- enhanced collections - either let me use folders on my Kindle or give me collections within collections please
- ability to search books via covers
- instead of social networking to facebook or twitter which I really don't use, I want the same ability but to my blog instead which would be useful
But to be honest for the price it is, I think what the Kindle does actually offer is fantastic. I have tried other e-ink devices but none of them come close to a Kindle for me.
