The ratings of the edge are unfair because they are comparing them to things in a different class....Yes, its heavier than an ereader. It doesnt last as long as an e-reader. However, e-readers dont have ipads connected to them and ipads will kill your eyes if you use them for an e-reader, so the comparisons are not exactly fair. The edge can do more and its in a nitch market.

I wish it was more hackable though....using a 'true' linux, like Ubuntu/Mint now that they are getting Multi-touch in my opinion would be 1000x times better than using Android. You could use a scaled down version of Linux like Puppy or Peppermint OS.

Maybe in the future?
