But don't forget devices targeted for business users almost always also have a business grade build quality as opposed to consumer grade device build quality. Better materials & QC cost extra and are worth every penny. Not sure any reader device is worth $400 but, who knows anymore.

As an example look at HP's Compaq business lines of laptops and other devices, the Latitude line from Dell, and I forget if Lenovo has a business line. The consumer grade devices from the same company are cheaply built. One reason is few, I forget the number but it was at least 80%, consumer grade devices ever leave the house. I have to wonder if the same holds true for consumer build readers. Though I am not sure the market has really diverged just yet...but, it will eventually.
