Good points, but I'd quibble about the price being too high for a single use device. There is a segment of the population that spends a lot of time reading and they don't mind spending money for a device that provides a good reading experience. The original Kindle cost $399 back in 2007 and sold out in hours. The high-end Kindle still costs $250.
