That's pretty cool. I played around with it a bit when I was in Indigo the other day. It took me a while to get over the fact that it's not a touchscreen (I've been spoiled by my iPod Touch). But it certainly seems worth the $150.
I looked at the app a bit on my iPod as well. It looks like books are mostly between $10 and $15 each, which seems about right. I couldn't imagine paying more than that for an ebook unless there were special circumstances (textbooks and tech manuals, for example). From what I read just now, the iBook pricing is $10 for bestsellers. But I don't think you can use iBooks outside of the OSX/iOS platforms.
