It is basically the same price as the BeBook and the CyBook... a bit more than the Sony... but the ebook prices at Amazon will make up the difference after you buy about 10 books.

I disagree... the keyboard makes the device compelling, allowing for searching and annotating.

A BMW also cost more than a Ford... but many people say it is worth it based on the sales.

Have you used a Kindle?
