I'll agree with you on that. The screen would be much better to read eBooks with, but that one thing alone isn't worth $350 (at least to me).
Now when the competition comes out, we'll see how much of a value Sony's device is.

I'll believe it when I see it. Sony has always been a "proprietary" company (as opposed to an open company) and - especially seeing how they are pushing their proprietary eBook format - I don't see that changing any time soon.
