Sales were less than expected by a good bit from what I've read.
It's a sleek machine, but most aren't willing to pay that much for the lack of power just to get a super light machine. My laptop seldom leaves the house and is almost always plugged in--it's just my home PC more than being a portable computer, so the Air, netbooks etc. haven't had any appeal to me.
Back on topic, I think it's silly to knock the iPad for being a bigger iPod touch in a piece talking about it as an e-reader.
For those who want an LCD screen reader, the main drawback to the Ipod Touch/iPhone is the screen is too small. It's small for books, and way to small for magazines, comics etc. The iPad should be great for that kind of stuff--again for people who want an LCD screen reader (so stay away with the "if it glows it blows" type of trolling).
