I recently added a jetBook to my pile of readers and right now I split my reading time between the jetBook (at work) and my EZ Reader (at home). The jetBook gets a lot of time because of size! It fits easily in my pants or sport coat pocket. I am sure that I will buy another EZ Reader or Mentor if either shows up in the 5-inch form!
That's my thought too. $65 may not sound much, but I think $200 is an emotional barrier. Who can explain the average buyer's mentality? I only know that if there was a device at the €199 price right now, I'd have it. But as the cheapest I can get is at around €250, I still haven't got one...
