This hits home right now. I'm traveling more and reading less, because I hate carrying books in my bags. I love the idea, but I can't get over the cost for a limited use device. Especially when you can get a netbook for the same price. Is the netbook as convenient for reading - no, but it can do the job.

At $300, I can't convince myself to take the plunge. $200 I could probably convince myself, and at <$150 I'd have the Kindle already.
