well i have to say i'm impressed. i expected a larger ipod touch/iphone but i also expected a $1000 price tag along with that. for what it does, for what it is and for what they charge you i think it's a pretty good deal. yes. you can read books on it, but you can do so much more, with a nicer looking interface than most ebook readers.
what will be the make or break for me is if i can import the epub's that i already have into it. if i have to re-purchase everything from apple (engadget is already reporting their book store has prices on par with amazon) then i'll just hang onto my 600.
for the people who don't like it, ok, so don't buy one. who's forcing you to? the people with the "hate" for the device just sound like a case of jealous sour grapes to me.
