I do because its perfect for what I want,

Web, Comics, Movies, music, VNC, email, sharing photos.

I was close to ordering a Kindle DX but whats the point, LCD screens dont bother my eyes and the iPad is $20 more.

The keyboard dock will be nice at home and is competitively priced, look at the nexus 1 desk dock $49 just for a dock with no keyboard.

It wont replace my home computer of my work laptop, but will replace my dell mini 9 and fit in better with my other Mac products(bluetooth keyboard for one)

I think people are comparing it to laptops which it cant and doesnt comete with or with the samller eink readers which it doesnt compete with.

However for the general consumption of a wide range of media on the go, with a nice UI and the app market to expand what it is capable of at $499 it seems a great buy...For ME!
