Disagree.
It's not about value, in my opinion. It's about what the market dictates.
Value is relative to the user so I wouldn't make it a general comment.
For true reading, the iPad has less value than DXG. Of course, you can do lot of stuff with an iPad, no question about it, but creates more distractions, it's heavier and I'm subject to few hours of days of continue use. With the DXG, couple of weeks.
The iPad is not a dedicated ereader, it's a tablet.
I sold the DXG because as reader, was too slow and never got updated but to me, the DXG is better as reader device: eink plus light and comfortable.
Hopefully this won't mean the end of eink line for Amazon.
