I guess it's because I don't much mind reading on a computer screen so comparably I don't imagine I'd mind much staring at this thing. Either way I'm taking a wait and see approach! @Drew No, I’m not sure of the eyestrain it might cause, but I’m still a little interested I must confess. I guess it’s because I don’t much mind reading on a computer screen so comparably I don’t imagine I’d mind much staring at this thing. Either way I’m taking a wait and see approach!

There is a reason the other ones aren't back lit. This will strain your eyes doing any extended ammount of reading on it. Personally I wont touch it until it gets a USB Jack, multi-tasking, flash, and a more open environment. Josh, this product isn’t that great of an e-reader.

As much as I'd love to believe that Apple is the renegade company of yesteryear, defying convention and catering to us geeks, I can't help but feel a bit left out on this one. Will that stop me from drinking the Kool-Aid? I doubt it :p @etc LoL, well said!

Basically is Apple geekware or a Product of the People. We came to the conclusion that it's actually intended for the masses and Apple isn't marketing to true geeks. In other words, they'd rather have senior citizen dollars than geek dollars, b/c a senior citizen won't try to hackintosh their shit. The same complaints are launched every time an Apple product is released, and I think it's becoming obvious that Mac just doesn't care. The Prom Queen wants your votes, nerds -- but she doesn't want to date you. My husband and I were having this convo the other day about Apple. Basically is Apple geekware or a Product of the People.
