There are other reasons why the price could be getting forced down. I posted the link to the specs above, and the screen's a TFT at 800x480. As I said earlier, while not great compared to the current crop of eInk and high-end tablets, that's still a lot better than my old Palm T/X which I read dozens of novels on.

Before we write this off it would be good if someone could actually get to see one of these working. I don't have a branch of Waterstone's near me here, but I'll try to remember to pop into one next time I'm in one of them big cities.
