  5. Not different enough from what I already own.
  6. Portability vs. durability
Not for me, for reasons first and last. Even at $500 (sooo doubtfull) it's too much for ppl who already own iPhone and can add ereader for 199.
If I travel to other country then having one dedicated device will pay off, if just commuting then alleged 10" screen is just too big of a device to carry with your phone on top of it.
The rest of the list is actually a plus for me.
No keyboard - great
Battery - don't care, 4 hours is plenty for me
Display - I am starting to hate e-ink gray on gray, will take eye tiring but pleasing display instead.
