It was "extra flash!"

I'm afraid I don't follow. Can you elaborate?

It was a crappy play on words. It's probably not popular anymore, but "flash" used to mean showy or ostentatious, hence the higher price. I was also suggesting it had more of that e-ink flash when turning pages.

Oh well, yet another joke that doesn't improve when explained.

I laughed at both yours and Harrys post rkomar, so your humour wasn't completely lost!
(Although I'm not sure HarryT was trying to be funny with his question about the overpriced Kindle.......)

overpriced as in it was purchased well before the consumer friendly price war
