The only temptation for me would be the 3G version. I enjoy having that option with the N1E. But then I weigh the downsides.

3G, obviously, costs extra. Then I definitely don't want special offers. That brings the tab up to $189 versus $139.

Then I look at the scores of epubs (DRM & not). That's just a deal breaker for me.

Both from the practical side of file conversion (too much friggin' time wasted) as well as Amazon's continued strategy of trying to lock themselves in as exclusive content providers. At least Apple, as bad as they are, allows 3rd party apps on the iPad.
