I don't see it as over priced.

I don't see the iPad competing with a dedicated reader at all. Will there be people that read ebooks on their iPad... sure. Is it the reason that 95% of people that buy one will have bought it, hell no.

I agree, but I think this is going to put price pressure on Amazon's DX..which is $489.
