Robertb, thanks for laying out the costs for us. We've often speculated about the cost breakdown of readers around here. I think we're in an unfortunate position right now in that many people can't justify $300 for a single-purpose device, especially with ebooks priced as they are currently (the same as paper books or higher). Some of us have other reasons to prefer ebooks, e.g. limited shelf space, dust allergies, etc., but for most people, it's going to be hard to justify spending this much on top of what we spend for books already. Hopefully costs will come down, both for producing the devices and for the ebooks themselves.
