My guess is that the added cost is for the 100 e-books on the micro SD card. They are probably the BN editions of public domain books.

At the sale price, it might be worth the extra $50 plus shipping for the convenience, at least for some people (not me!), plus HSN has a liberal return policy. And probably the biggie is that they offer the option to pay in installments, which can be the deciding factor for some people.

Edited to add:
They now have the list of preloaded books up. All public domain.
