I was just having this conversation with a friend. I'm glad I picked up a used Litepad, though it needed some refreshening, because of the limitless opportunities.

Install any reader built for Windows platform.
WiFi and either socket Bluetooth or USB Bluetooth
30 Gb hard drive

These manufacturers are probably ignoring the tablet marketplace because of the price difference. However, I'd rather pay the difference to get the ability to hit a website while browsing a book... say, for research purposes.

However, they do have the quite impressive eInk on their side.
