Slick unit - but I wouldn't pay this price for it.
I was one of the test users. It's pretty slick and mostly easy to use - much of the usability feedback was pretty nit-picky. I also suspect that if I'd had a manual I could have figured out some of the questions I had about navigation, but I think that was part of the testing - to see how well we could use it without direction.
That said ... $400 is not a price point that interests me at all. I would pay half that perhaps, but only if I could also read things in different formats; I purchase frequently from Amazon but I also use my public library heavily. The inability to get ebooks from other sources would make this product considerably less attractive to me, particularly at a $400 price point.
I have had jobs before where I traveled extensively for work and I could see this being a much more attractive product for someone with that type of lifestyle.
