First off, I take umbrage to your use of the word "junk". Junk implies less than low quality, which this stuff is *not*. I've bought many of the accessories over the past year, and they are not "junk".

As for price, the enTourage accessories, for the most part, are for "convenience" not for the lowest price, in my opinion You're free to buy elsewhere. The advantage of buying from enTourage is that there's no guesswork with "will it fit/work".

If you know of sleeves/cases that fit the PE perfectly (from *experience*!), please post links. The small PE is not a standard size, and even netbook sleeves are too large. Some ebook readers, like the Kindle, are similar in size, but a bit wider/taller and these tend to be thinner than the PE. Ultimately, you may find you have no choice to go with the enTourage one simply because you may not find any others.

For the USB-to-Ethernet adapter, the Amazon link you posted shows crossover adapters, which is very different and useless with the eDGe. Furthermore, forums members in the past have lamented buying any ol' USB-To-Ethernet adapter only to find it doesn't work on the eDGe. Read http://www.entourageedge.com/forums/...light=ethernet to get the right information on which types of adapters will work on the eDGe so that you don't waste time and money

As for the stylus, again you have to buy a very specific replacement and not "just any ol' stylus". The forums have a few threads on how to find the larger full-size Wacom penabled pens, but noone has posted links for the smaller styli (which, mind you, has to be an exact size and shape to fit in the eDGe's holder, otherwise you might as well get the large pen). The cost of the large pen, btw, is $30-$40 - and that's for *one* pen.

The other items you mentioned are mostly commodities, and there are other threads that offer alternatives outside the enTourage store.

So, while your opinion is certainly valid, your conclusions may not match those of others
