I would NOT pre-order any reader anymore. And like you was am completely underwhelmed with this device. Their video on the website did it for me...the prototype device that was posted on Gizmodo and a thread around here somewhere, showed a MUCH larger LCD screen, the current screen, if you can even call it that as it seems more like a 1" LCD strip.
From the video that LCD strip can't be more than a 1" strip which is hardly what I would can useful. Needless to say, it will take a lot to show me this device is worth the hype let alone the price. Color me disappointed, but in the ereader device world I find this has become the norm rather than the exception.
I am sure someone will dig up the prototype image that was posted, if not I will try and find it...there is a large difference in the potential of the prototype compared to the obviously limited production (at least the production model for B&N) model.
