Thinking about the impact of the iPad on the DX, I'm beginning to see that the DX has an advantage with Whispernet, in that it is free, whereas with the iPad, if you don't have a wireless network at home, you are going to have to pay 15-30 bucks a month for easy access to books.

So while my first reaction was that the DX was going to have to lower it's price or die, I'm having second thoughts about that.

Thing is, once you have a DX, you have all you need to get books. With an iPad and no wireless at home, you either have a hassle similar to that of non-connected edevices, or a monthly expense.
