It's also very expensive, too much for me

I'm just hypothesizing here, based on the specs and preliminary reports...but I would think that its more than feasible to connect to ANY online store you choose, through the eDGe's wifi (and eventualy 3G connection) and DL eBooks directly to the device...something FEW, if any, other eReaders can do themselves.
Also, I would also expect Entourage to lower their prices on ePubs once the device launches for JUST this reason - they want the revenues to go through THEIR store, as much as possible, and they HAVE to know that customers WILL shop around for the best price...its just a matter of negotiating better deals through their vendors - which they should be able to accomplish once they can provide accurate projections based on pre-order and production numbers.
