The price of an iPad is over a Kindle because of what you get extra. It certainly makes sense to look at those extras. I doubt anyone is going to buy an iPad to use only as an eReader and nothing else.

It's not silly to ignore extras you don't really need. Your point about the 1 bedroom is exactly the point I'm trying to make. You go out looking for a 1 bedroom apartment & the real estate agent tries to get you to buy a 4 bedroom house because of all the room. But you don't need that room.
Or you live in the city, and need a small car, so you go out to buy a Civic and the salesman tries to convince you to get an SUV.
Same with the K2 and the iPad. A little less so with the KDX and the iPad. There's just no point in paying for extras you don't need, even thought they are highly nifty extras.
