Kinda weird seeing them head into "luxury model" territory, but I think we're there.
I wonder if my PW1 will be my last dedicated e-reader. I'd definitely buy a 8 inch 4x3 tablet for 200 dollars before I'd spend it on a reader (I don't read outside very often.)

I'm kind of shocked about the 6" tablet as sales of smaller tablets are shrinking because of larger smartphones, but perhaps they are targeting kids.
I had the same thought, the PW1 and Nook Simple Touch are probably the last e-ink devices I'll buy. Tablets are dirt cheap now with audio and other features that make it unthinkable for me to spend $200 on e-ink as much as I like it. An 8" Nextbook tablet at Walmart is half the price of Amazon's high end e-ink device.
