It's also very expensive, too much for me
I would agree that this may be too huge, cumbersome and expensive just to read novels. For reading novels, I don't see much advantage of getting this over smaller devices.

However, I think this device will mainly appeal to academics or graduate students who need to handle huge number of PDF articles. For them (including me), it will not matter whether it has integrated bookstore or not. As long as it handles PDFs reasonably well, it will be excellent device for that purpose.
