It really would depend on how much better it is against both iSilo and Plucker. Since I have both installed, I don't need another one unless it can do what the others don't. If it's much better than those two I mentioned then $20 would be worth it. On the other hand, if its just on-par or less functional, or buggy then even at $10, I wouldn't consider it.
AS I see it, Sunrise's commercial brethren would be better off as a good offline reader since most people already uses Palm Reader or Mobipocket for ebooks, both of which has free functional versions. For offline readers, the choices are Avantgo, iSilo, Handstory, and Plucker. Avantgo is mostly limited to its own partners, Handstory works better as a swiss-army knife reader/viewer than offline Reader. Isilo and Plucker are therefore the premier Palm offline viewers and Sunrise's successor main competitor. iSilo has a good desktop companion in iSiloX, while Plucker rely mostly on Laurn's own Sunrise tool. So how much better than those would determine whether $20 is worth shelling out for the next version of Sunrise.
