Many of those screeching loudest against the e-ink ebook readers haven't actually USED said devices for a month or so to read ebooks. Further, if the units now apparently on sale in China/Japan *are* real iSlate devices, the price of said devices are/will be around $1,000. Far too expensive for an ebook reader. And with a 10.1" display, rather UNportable compared to your average 5"/6" e-ink reader.
