Sorry for dropping off for the past couple days- glad to see there's some lively discussion going on this! Agreed, price-for-[functionality as just a tablet] is not an angle that is going to sell overly many units. Getting through to anyone will largely involve focusing on the great points people have been bringing up, and tying those back to a brand which, I subsequently realized, is named not so much after leading as following >.<;

Sleeping on the concept for the past couple days, I'm thinking of perhaps a series of simple 1-page plugs- bold header, explanatory blurb, pics of the EE and PE posed for show, and a unifying slogan. Ideas include:

If it's really e-paper, shouldn't you be able to e-print to it, e-write on it, e-draw on it, e-share it with others?
Introducing the eDGe and Pocket eDGe. Read, write, draw, and annotate any PDF. Save any writing or drawing to PDF and copy it to a thumb drive or send it electronically.
Welcome to the enTourage.

If it's an e-book, shouldn't it have full e-pages and e-illustrations, and be e-readable for hours on end?
Introducing the eDGe. 9.6 inches of crisp, 16-shade e-paper for over 8 hours of continuous reading.
Welcome to the enTourage.

If it's a tablet, why does it still feel like a phone?

Welcome to the enTourage.

Give your thumbs a break.
Introducing the eDGe and Pocket eDGe, with full standard USB keyboard support out of the box for e-mail, web browsing, word processing in standard Microsoft Office formats.
Welcome to the enTourage.

If it's mobile computing, shouldn't it have internet anywhere you are?

An e-...Book? Books are soooo last-century.
