Robert,
I agree with Walk Broad. I am excited by your participation here, and excited by the things I hear you talking about. I am nervous that you may have a tough time delivering everything that you are working towards.
Three sizes, colors, wifi options, touchscreen options, two reader versions. a web browser, and more.
Furthermore, we have experience with vendors that push out a first gen device, and then aren't able to keep up the support. I'll almost guarantee that there will be compromises with the first generation unit. For example, I can think of one book reader that has a library that is hard to navigate if you have hundreds of books. Unfortunately, they are real slow on updates.
If your software engineers are worried about two reading apps, and a web app (and more), and they have to adapt to different physical interfaces (touchscreen versus buttons) then improvements will take forever.
I would rather see you push out a single, solid, but basic first gen device, and then see you improve that device steadily through software updates.
