Sony's new e-book reader: $350

According to engadget, Sony has released pricing info for their e-book reader that is supposed to be based on E-ink technology. The device should be available for $350.

I would really like to get my hands on one of these. If the price were $99 and the books were half the price of their printed equivalent, I'd be all over this. However, paying $350 for a digital book, however cool and practical for avid readers, is a bit crazy. The best use I can see would be the possibility of reading on a road trip at night without having a stupid little book light illuminating half of a page.
