I noticed that, too - I wonder why that is. Is it really just a question of marketing muscle? Getting the word out and all that?

When the Kindle came out, people not remotely interested in e-books came up to me all of a sudden and said "did you see Amazon is selling your thingy?" (At which point I'd staple them to the wall and sit down to a lengthy breakdown of the differences between Iliad and Kindle...)

Or maybe it's just the price tag? Reviewers assuming that since the Iliad is the most expensive, average joes won't even look at it, so it's not worth reviewing?

All rather mystifying.
