I wasn't out to hurt your geek cred - but I do think the Kindle is not primarily aimed at tinkerers. I do think the Kindle is aimed squarely at the mass "push a button" consumers, and I think it makes sense as a business model.
So, um, if the Iliad were cheaper, would you have bought that, or haven't you considered it at all? I know the featureset and potential make this geek drool.
