That's a very interesting take it, LDB. And it makes sense; sometimes, you see situations where something (or someone, like in sports) is referred to as underrated so often, that it (he) ends up being overrated.
I agree with what you said about e-Ink technology. That's basically what I felt, as well. When I started out considering e-readers, I had actually been open to the idea of paying $259 for the Kindle or Nook, and even briefly considered the PRS-600 (back when it was still $299). I eventually and gradually lowered my price range, because I felt the same thing you said. The tech is still too young, and still leaves a fair bit to be desired. Even the screen itself - the slow refresh rate is quite a downer considering this is the 21st century, and we're used to such high quality (and fast) displays like our LCD monitors and HDTVs.
Although, I must say, this is the first time I've heard anyone say "E-Ink is crap compared to even poor print". I thought the whole hype over e-Ink was based on the idea that it's supposed to be close to print, so that statement does surprise me.
