There is that. But again, *to me* not having to convert the majority or even the minority of what I already have is worth that much of a price difference. I don't know what the normal price of a BeBook is (Derek, are you reading?) and so I suppose it would depend on how "temporary" this price reduction on the BeBook is. I can't order anything for a minimum of two weeks, anyway, since I'm waiting on a tax refund to come in before I can order. But the BeBook is looking like a very attractive alternative to me, since part of what I was looking for was a device that reads almost all formats natively so I'm not restricted to only one format. The ESlick was attractive both for the fact that you *can* convert almost anything to pdf with their software (sorry Derek, but you can, even if it's not the ideal solution), and the price. Since I wasn't aware of the BeBook at the time, you can see why the ESlick was looking like the most viable option.
You can probably gather from my use of the past tense that is no longer looking like the most viable option... lol.
