What does the iPod offer but convenience? I can listen to music on my old portable CD player, too, but the iPod (actually, iRiver for me) allows me to carry a lot of music around with little bulk. I can also switch from one cd to another or from one artist to another without having a bunch of CDs with me. Same is true of the Reader-- a ton of reading material without the bulk. And the outstanding battery life of the Reader is much more convenient than that of an mp3 player. If I had to manage battery life on one more electronic device the way I have to do for my Treo and iRiver, I would not have purchased the Reader. But because I can charge the Reader and forget about it for weeks made this device super convenient. I think people will pay for convenience, I certainly did.
