It's the same price as the iLiad. I owned an iLiad for about 9 months and then sold it, because it didn't suit my requirements. I got what I considered a fair resale price for my iLiad, as I have with all the book readers I've bought.

Do I consider spending $1k in five years on book readers "excessive"? Personally, no. I've spent considerably more than that on them in the last five years, and I consider it to have been money well spent. I spend several thousand $ a year on books, an extra few hundred a year for a reader is (for me personally) inconsequential.
