"It weighs too much" mmm considering some of the books I lug around that weigh 4 or more pounds, I guess 1.5 pounds should be manageable.

"Its too big" - Its the size of an A4 sheet of paper 1 cm thick, which is how big an open book normally is are they not?
Dedicated 6" readers will drop below US $100 this year and will be selling by the truck loads. Because they have better reading screens, are smaller and lighter. He is right. It is a different market -- the ipad competes against media devices, perhaps netbooks and smartphones.
