If your requirements don't include reflective display, 12+ hr battery life, Wacom Stylus note taking(or sketching) and a camera to take pictures during lectures etc for under $200, which appears to be the case since you don't get it, than for you it's not better. For others it is.

A Wacom Bamboo by itself is $99, and that's without the LCD screen, camera or reader functions. Don't forget, folks, this thing is a "Note Taker", and that's what it's optimized for. I paid $200 for a LiveScribe pen that can output PDF files if you use the special paper, and have taken hundreds of pages of notes in spite of its limitations.
I think "less than $200" is a bargain for an 8" reader with a Wacom screen/stylus and camera. That being said, from the reviews I've read, it seems to need a little more maturation in terms of its UI, but I'll definitely be keeping my eye on it.
