If you order a Sony DPT-RP1 from Amazon.com you pay 700 USD for the tablet with stylus, 60 USD for the cover, and 20 USD for 10 extra nibs. Shipping costs are also covered.
So the real comparison would be 479 USD against 780 USD, before taxes. Not that close, really. Those who preordered the reMarkable when it was priced at USD 379 get a pretty good deal.

I just stumbled upon the ReMarkable site today, and I'm so bummed I missed the presale. I would have loved to have taken advantage of the preorder bundle price... but the regular price is unfortunately too steep for me. Darn. I wish I had found it a couple weeks ago. (Or whenever they stopped accepting presales.)

I wonder if there is any chance that they would open presales back up, if the shipping delay turns out longer than expected? (Not that I want those of you who are waiting for your devices to have to wait longer.)
