Yep, the market is just starting up for ebooks and ebook readers. Different people have different requirements which require different devices. For that matter, different devices can meet different needs. I use an iPad for most of my reading right now, but I also have a Sony 505 and an iPhone. I wouldn't take the iPad on a backpacking trip, but I would take the Sony. Competition is good for consumers.
From the ebook price stand point mentioned earlier in the thread, my comment is that authors have to eat. If they can't make enough money to feed themselves, then they will stop writing and go into another line of work.
