I compare the DXi to the iPad. Yes little me, Jane or John Doe. There are hundreds of thousand like me, by the way. People who just want a device that works, that works beautifully, that is reasonably priced and super easy to learn. A device that has fantastic support and looks great to boot.
I compare the the DXi to the iPad because they only 2 large 'international' devices aimed at the casual reader. When you compare the two readers, the one comes off rather badly.
The other large readers that are aimed for the business sector, are way out of my price range and don't even nearly live up to the iPad (IMHO)... not for my uses anyway.
My 2 cents...
Just for your info, there will be 6 million e-ink devices sold this year. To each his own. It all depends on what is important to you (reading or entertainment) and how your eyes can take extended reading on a backlit screen. So there is plenty of room for both types of devices. We don't want to talk you out of getting an iPad! Go ahead and enjoy.
