how hard is it to beat that kind of service?

Not textbooks. Not even three upper level mechanics textbooks.

I could buy a large selection of books for that sum of money. In my opinion, I would like to see a computer based application with this type of functionality/capability.

It’s clearly not the way it should be working if you’re in the US with whispernet in place but for us ex-USA folks it’s the only way to get purchases onto the device. Maybe the downloadable version is the correct one.

Not sure one can actually “own” any “DRM lovin'” device. But if someone studies current information society, and can afford the Kindle, it makes sense to pay for one in order to describe first-hand how it works or doesn’t. For people in countries where the Kindle is not yet available, due to copyright issues, it is particularly useful to have such descriptions in case Amazon does manage eventually to solve said issues for other-than-US countries and starts offering the Kindle internationally.

See also – and possibly sign if you agree with it – the Reading Rights coalition’s petition about Amazon’s caving in to the Authors Guild and allowing authors to disable text-to-speech on the Kindle: Allow Everyone access to E-books.
