The fact that it doesn't do things that a netbook does troubles me also since it costs more. They are selling of course because they are by Apple.

Very valid points! I'll add that it is a bit big for a dedicated reader too. I have an Asus T91MT netbook tablet that is a bit smaller with a 8.9" screen, and that is too big to lug around as a portable reader, but great when in my recliner. I was hoping like everything that Apple would release the iPad but with a 6" or 7" screen and a price tag of $300 or less with 32GB. I would have jumped all over that as I like my iPod touch, but the 3.5" screen is too small for my uses; not to mention it has terrible battery life.
