One thing I find interesting about the "overpriced" comments is I wonder how overpriced you think it is? Would you say its still overpriced at $150? $130? At $130, assuming you use it daily for a year, you are spending an extra 20 cents a day. If you read 700 hours on it, thats about ten cents an hour.
If it was an extra $70 for something you used a couple of times and then got rid of, or an extra few hundred dollars, that would be one thing. But this is an item that (if you are on this board) you will probably use a lot. Is it really that crazy to spend a little more on it.
It's certainly more expensive than other currently available ereaders, but given the use I am going to get out of it, I consider it dirt cheap based on the pleasure it is going to give me. Or the additional pleasure I expect to get over the cheaper models.
Just my opinion.
