OK the TOP reasons I say that is I am not rich to spend everything since I live alone so you can get in mind about "corner the biggest piece of market"....

Luigi,
I agree. I've not found it too difficult to trot over to my computer, buy-and-d/l the ebooks I want, load them onto the SD card and insert said card into my Cybook. And in America, so I presume this to be the case in most industrialized countries, it would not be all that difficult to find computers elsewhere (if I were to travel) which I could use to accomplish the same. I'll agree that for some people, the ability to scrawl an annotation in the ebook might be necessary, so a touch-screen might be nice - but not a critical item. Were I able to get a sub-$200 e-ink reader in 6" screen size, I'd be a happy camper. Erm... Make that sub-$150!
