JMO but it didn't have to be only a book reader, for that I'd say the price should be lower, I feel that way because other products are close to the same price and offer 'more'. There is more to the internet than color pictures/video, to be able to read webpages, news/blogs or send email etc would 'upgrade' the kobo in my view.

As 'just a reader' it seems to be very good, SD card is big plus IMO over the Kindle along with others, but for nearly the same money other products do the same thing, and offer more, to me this doesn't 'make sense'.
