they're planning on raising the price to $689! :-(
In all honesty, far above an acceptable price.
I guess I'll buy mine next year,when prices are down by at least 30%!
I find the device is being sold for twice the price of it's worth!
I know it's e-ink, but I'd rather spend $150 for a tablet with much broader capabilities, but lasts only 4 hours on battery, than spend almost 700 on a device that runs only a day or two on batteries anyway!
Long battery life is really the only reason I buy a jetbook or an e-ink device. If they can't perform with long battery life, I'll just buy a regular tablet for the mean time,and wait until other manufacturers come up with better solutions.
Color is not the main reason I wanted to buy this device (eventhough it has color);
High resolution screen and pdf fileformat from reading from SD is the reason I want it, something the kindle has missing, and other book readers seem to have OS troubles...
I'm pretty fine with B&W,just need hi-res e-ink.
Little much disappointed in the device's upcoming price!
