Seconded. Just today I looked at ebook reader devices again because I really want one - but the prices are ridiculous. $359 for a kindle? Come on, that buys

  Some flexibility would be nice here. I'm sure there'd be a few books I'd like to read in the future, so maybe 10 books with the reader and 10 free ones I can choose later would be nice. Still, the XKCD on the Kindle made me really want to try one, if only because of sentimental reasons.

    In fact, since the kindle is a closed platform, feel free to lock me into amazon until I have bought enough books to pay it off. I would immediately order a kindle for $0 that forces me to buy the first 100 books at amazon (as long as the pdf function is not crippled). $100 / 50 and other combinations would also work. I do consider myself an early adopter. But the current asking price is too steep.
