I would pay in the $200 range for a larger e-ink screen but once you move above that it would be hard for me to justify spending that money on something that is not a tablet. Great functionality and I can adjust the backlighting, screen colors, and the like to decrease eye strain and battery drain plus be able to play silly video games and the like.
That is exactly the problem, it needs to be in the $250 new range or less since you can get tablets in that range, the only thing going for it is the e-ink display for extremely long battery life and easy on the eyes display. As a multifunction device it is not worth having so it is relegated to a reader only. This is pretty much why I've decided that I'll just wait and see what holiday sales bring and probably end up with a 10 inch Android tablet like the Iconia a500 or Transformer, guess I should have bought an HP when they were $99.
