You've got the nub of it, scotty1024. They're not, strickly speaking, directly competing products, more like different niches of the same general product concept. like toaster-ovens and microwaves, rather than GE's microwave and LG's microwave.

They have overlap, but they're aimed at different applications, a lot of which a person chooses is going to come down to what they plan/need to do with such a device.

I, for example, just want to read. I could do that on the iLiad just fine, but I could also do it just fine on the Sony, and at ~1/2 the cost, I don't mind missing the things that would be almost completely bragware for me (wacom, wi-fi, etc.). Someone else would have a completely different take on those features, and arrive at the other choice just as legitimately.

Ain't it great to have choices!
