...for no particular reason that I can detect, other than wishful thinking.
I concur that the PL will be an expensive device, and I can't imagine that B&N is going to subsidize any of its cost.
Having seen the Kindle DX, it strikes me that the PL's larger form factor will be great for PDF's and technical documents, but less than ideal for portable reading -- it's just too big, especially with a half-way decent case. This could be balanced out by the ability to put your B&N books on multiple devices --
if there is some way to sync your last page and notes to them, which afaik is not the case. Otherwise it's going to be a real drag to switch from device to device.
Is it clear why PL will use wireless access, other than some type of web browsing?
