1. I agree, but I doubt prices are going to come down to the levels they ought to anyway.
2. Probably, but I guess its better than not being able to
3. Important point being missed is that Wi-Fi only works in B&N stores. Outside the store you would use the AT&T connection (or so the B&N website leads me to believe). I find it a bit odd that B&N would prevent you from using say your own Wi-Fi connection. Might be handy in areas where 3G coverage isn't good, maybe you could hook up the device to ur home Wi-Fi network and buy books.
4. Very limited is an understatement. It doesn't even support plain txt formats. Which means painful formatting of txt files from Gutenberg.
5. I'm confused here. ePub seems pretty open to me
6. Possibly, but i'm sure its better than e-ink based menu systems. Lack of folders shouldn't necessarily be a deal breaker
7. The LCD screen will no doubt affect battery life greatly. Hmm...this remains to be seen. I'd say ought to at least last a week with moderate usage.
8.Too early to say mate, but I'm sure that's B&N's end game. That's why I prefer Sony, Aztak's EZReader, Cybook's Opus etc, coz these companies don't live to sell books
9. Again a bit premature
10. First generation it may be, but I'm sure it's not that big a risk for the consumer. Its probably more risky for B&N coz they have their reputation riding on it
