Mainstream

I own a kindle and I love it. However, at it's current price point it is only appropriate for a) people who read tons of books and can justify the purchase (I know of very few people who read so avidly) or b) people with a lot of disposable income such that the convenience is the only real consideration, or maybe c) people who actually read newspapers and magazines and just hate the thought of the piles of paper generated by such items.

IMHO it won't hit mainstream until at least $200 is knocked off that price. Until then it'll just be a high tech toy for people with lots of disposable income.

P.S. I guess it goes without saying that their magazine, newspaper and older book offering have a ways to go before it'll be a true "book replacement".
