In addition to what fjtorres mentioned, keep in mind that the iPad is going to change the entire pricing structure for e-readers, not to mention that it will probably drive several of the manufacturers out of business - there are way too many manufacturers for the market, which has shrunk considerably at the high end now that an iPad can be had for $500. And this pricing pressure is going to continue down the price points.

kut, if you don't want to wait, buy used. I picked up a barely used Sony 600 with the cover that retails for $30 for $150 total.
