But then you agree, it comes down to wants and needs. I don't think the "value packaged" models would be as satisfactory for someone who wants touch capabilities or the smaller footprint, lighter weight, and sleeker styling of the Sonys.
If something is not used or is barely used, it would be a pretty useless premium feature, no? In the meantime, it has something no other e-ink reader has -- full touch on a Pearl e-ink screen. That to me is much much more a premium feature than wi-fi.
Yes, it's up there. However, there are many who have paid far lower due to extensive promotions being run since these readers hit the market.

and oh by the way all your digital feeds are compressed to a certain degree or another. some cable companies are worse than others.
The only way to get uncompressed HD digital feed for your TV is from Over The Air with an antenna. Even Blu rays are compressed.
