That's what I meant when I said earlier it still seemed too expensive at that price.

I do think though, for the general punter that the Kobo is a great start or alternative.
Not everyone wants to go through hoops like us to get our preferred device.
The Kobo is available locally now, it is cheap and it works well enough. With the alternatives available locally to the Kobo considerably higher in price, it should do well.
I am still considering one for my wife based on her seeing one in the plastic at a Borders store. If she does not like what she sees, then I will get her a PRS-300 via the Sony Store and Borderlynx.
