Other 9.7" e-readers are priced as high or even higher than that, right?
Furthermore, I see some advantages for this one : bigger screen, resistant (a priori), lightweight, thin, finger-touch (but no digitizer...).
Maybe it's lacking Wifi and a micro-SD expansion slot but it has to have some drawbacks, too, in order to stimulate the competition, no?

Anyone knows if Plastic Logic intends to sell it outside Russia?
