Re: Kindle: Amazon\'s new wireless reading device

$400 seems really reasonable for what you get. Can't believe people think it's overpriced.

It definitely is overpriced. This is the first of its type to market (...I think) which is going to allow them to charge the inflated price. I remember purchasing a ProScan DVD player when DVD players first hit the market - $750. New technology is fun and the bragging rights are cool but it never comes cheap.
Wait a year or two when the competition gets in the game and improves functionality and compatibility. This Kindle 1.0 will look like a dinosaur in no time.
As of now I wouldn't buy one simply because the technology is not where I would want it to be for such a device. I'd have to buy an new one in a year. I can wait.
But if you gotta' have one then you gotta' have one. I can respect that.
