previous tablets were crude, now that we've seen apple do them _correctly_.
Beg to differ that any tablet is done "correctly" if you pay for wifi/3g but aren't actually allowed to use the wifi/3g to do anything with books but buy from the company store. Kindle/Nook/iPad all suffer from restrictions on wireless transmission in an attempt by the hardware mfg to tie you to their company store. Netbooks, for example, do no suffer from this restriction. Toshiba Portege doesn't have the restriction, but at $1300 is a *bit* pricy for a reader, not to mention 5 lb vs. 1 lb for a DX.
