Re 'all that moolah' - it is only ~$250 and really well built for that. I think in the context of what most other devices cost - it is really cheap. It is the *right* form factor for reading crap on the Internet on the couch (much more so than an iPad/Surface). I don't think of it as a primary computing device - more of an e-reader on steroids. -- David Connors da...@connors.com | M +61 417 189 363 Download my v-card: https://www.codify.com/cards/davidconnors Follow me on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/davidconnors Connect with me on LinkedIn: http://au.linkedin.com/in/davidjohnconnors
