Yes, Harry, if this is in response to my $650, you'll have to indulge my penchant for silliness. I honestly do not expect it to be near that (though I actually could do with a new set of steak knives). I'm actually expecting around the $800 dollar mark as previously mentioned by Tarek.
I too wish they'd gone with the Cybook. I think it would have been a far better proposition, a more approachable device for a buying public, not to mention a more financially viable product for a buying public. I think it would have "just worked" (a favourite mantra of mine when looking at new products) for most potential users. I'll still probably buy the Iliad. I do count local support - or, at least, the ability to make any problem a problem for Dymocks - on such new-ish technology products as fairly important to me. Also, to be honest, the Iliad does have its own charms (as I'm sure you are aware
).
