I work in the IT industry in which people tend to be:
1. Quite well-paid.
and:
2. Have a love of "gadgets".
Put the two together and there you are. I've shown my various book readers to people I work with and while they all think it's a fascinating technology, none is a sufficiently keen reader to buy one. I don't recall anyone being put off by the price, though - probably most have bought other gadgets in that price range. One the other hand, the wife of one of my friends is an English teacher, and she was absolutely "blown away" by my Gen3 and instantly demanded (and received!) one for her birthday which happened to be in a few weeks. She's now an avid eBook reader!
