I agree. I didn't hesitate to pay $300 for my Sony 505 nor the $300 price for my Sony 950 (I bought both before the prices started slipping). The devices had what I wanted when I wanted them and so I paid the going price. Similarly, I would pay a higher price for the Mirasol screen, which is a color screen that sti8ll lets you read comfortably outdoors.
The Digital Reader has a video of a drop test of the Kindle Fire and the Nook Tablet and when the testers took the devices outdoors, you could really see the glare on the screens. In contrast, the Digital Reader had a link in his article on the Korean reader to the Mirasol website where there were videos and it was clear that the Mirasol screens had the same outdoor advantage that e-ink has over LCD.
