I beg to differ. There is no doubt that iPad is pricey piece of the technology, but it hardly defines an average person who is using e-book reader.

Hell, most of us have TV sets priced higher than iPad, yet you will never hear the argument that $700 widescreen TV set is a luxury. Why, for crying out loud, is $140 Kindle a fashionable item and not a lowly appliance?
