Speaking of calming down, I am really not sure what your point is, or why you are getting excited?
If you want to maintain e-readers will never be more than a niche product, fine. Kind of like red wine, hard-cover books, smart-phones, or push email. Not all will have it, or like it, but many will.
Nevertheless, Citigroup estimates the Kindle to generate $1.2 billion for Amazon in 2010, which should boggle your mind, particularly if you think that $350 is such an exorbitant sum (for a device, which among other things, would allow you to read any classic you want, for free.)

The same world, where people spend $299 for a touch device to listen to music on the go (or $399 for the 32gb version of the iPod Touch.)
Just different priorities, I guess. Some dance, some read, some eat....
