And a sub $200 price is imperative in that type of reader. Ideally sub-$150 would be the sort of device that people, even today, would impulse buy or buy as a gift for people who they know who are readers.

Like all current reading devices, a breakable glass layer over the display is the primary reason I would pass on one. Though my PDAs are all glass but a lot stronger simply because the size of the display allows for less flex in the display.

Nice device for sure.
the glass is actually the bottom layer of the display, not the top. A 5" should be more rugged in this regard than the current 6" devices.
