[QUOTE=Tamara;867296]For $100 more, you get a larger color screen, web, email, photo and access to 150,000 apps ranging from streaming Netflix to the weather, etc. By comparison, Sony's Daily Edition seems kind of pricey for a device that can only do one thing. The Kindle DX has the same size screen as the iPad and can also do simple web browsing for a comparable price to the iPad.[/QUOTE
The pricing debate confuses me as well. Comparing this to the larger ereaders and it looks pretty darn good considering what you get. And the battery life they've managed to squeeze out of it diminishes that benefit of e-ink. E-ink still has better battery life, but not enough at this point to rule out the iPad as a viable contender. I would still like to see some improvement in the reading applications for things like adjustable margins, better PDF support, background and text color configuration, etc., but I'm sure those will come in time.
