I am ALMOST there!….I want to get an ereader…and the price is like you said starting to tickle my itchy impulse buy trigger-finger, BUT I took the dimensions and made paper templates to see how big (or small) they are and found to my surprise that neither suited me! The Kindle 3 is too small and the Kindle DX- too large! Why can’t they find that “Sweet-spot”? I keep hearing that people just want paperback novel size…well…I’m in that catagory! Actually, Christian novel size (a bit larger than mass market size) would be better. And I’m talkin’ SCREEN SIZE not total Kindle size!
AND while I’m on the almost wish list: Where is the color screen I keep hearing about? I have read incredible articles and have seen amazing proto-types of these Mirasol or Liquavista screens that seem to be looking for buyers. Where’s Amazon or B&N on THAT front? If they implimented either of those color screens into their product lines…MAN!…People sitting on the fence would LEAP over it to get one! Me being one of them!
Come on Amazon/B&N…get on the whip with this one will ya!!!

[...] Since eBooks went mainstream, the specifics of their pricing have been a constant source of controversy. As the first big player on the block, Amazon pioneered the $9.99 price point for new and popular releases. This was the industry standard for nearly a year until Apple decided to throw its hat into the eBook ring, which gave publishers a little more leverage, which they utilized to increase prices across the board.
