This makes sense...although personally I didn't think about the stylus too much...I'm not too fussed about the input methods, as I think for the most part its just a matter of getting used to...
Also I prefer resistive screens to capacitive screens, for the sole reason that I can operate them with my fingernails...kinda like my very own, personal inbuilt styli

LOL! Yes, I guess it had to do with them selling it on HSN where a large number of the people who bought it weren't exactly 'Tech-savy'...
But what I did not get was this...even amongst the so-called 'Tech-Savy' crowd there were a lot of reviews which thought that the dual-book concept was "such a bad idea", "what good is it", "its neither this nor that"...they just didn't seem to 'get it'...I can understand that it doesn't serve the needs of everyone...but these reviews simply seemed to trash the device because it did not fit their needs/expectations...they couldn't imagine scenarios where it could be useful for OTHERS...
& then there were the "its ugly", "its soooo thick" "looks like an old Fisher-Price toy" comments...I couldn't help wondering if I was the only one who thought it actually looked good?!?!
maybe its a pet-peeve, but what is it with people wanting every piece of technology to be paper-thin these days?? I for one am happy that it actually 'feels' close to a real book...

Which videos are you talking about, cBird? & I would definitely be interested in your list too...seeing as I am in the same boat as you of "feeling somehat overwhelmed w/all the options, following the forum, and losing sleep"
