I like No 2.:

2. E-book readers are the least discounted gadgets on the market

The Great Recession has sparked the most discounted, low-price holiday season in history. Other gadgets in nearly every other category are slashed to near or below cost. eBook readers aren't really getting swept up in the cost cutting. While some stores are actually paying you to take free BlackBerry phones, for example, eBook readers still cost hundreds of dollars. And there aren't a lot of deals to be found on them, at least anything that compares to the prices of other gadgets.
