I agree. I think the "expensive" perception is because the first thought is that they don't spend that much money on books now. I mean, hey a paperback is $6 or so right?!
But I'm sure that if they are avid readers and they add up the time/expense driving around getting and buying their books, plus the expense of all the books they have bought, the $400 comes out a bargain. Now there are some people who ONLY go to libraries--so for them an e-ink device may be an expensive alternative. But for me personally, the convenience (size, dictionary, ease of use) more than makes up for the price. Not to mention all the great free books we have here...
