Sorry to double-post but since there seems to be no one in my area that sells this stuff, here's my want list in a reader:
  • Lightweight
  • Thin
  • supports txt, html, rtf and possibly pdf natively (may have to convert pdfs for readability)
  • good battery life
  • supports non-drm files, don't care about drm files
  • sub-350 dollar price
  • must be able to read from heirarchal folder structure
  • neat, organized menu for navigating the library
  • bookmark support
  • fast software (read: quick page turns, boot-up, shut-down, file loads)
  • support for a readily available flash-based expansion card larger than 2GB

Note: I would like a color screen if possible but if I have to compromise anything, this would be it. I'll continue to read my comics on the PC if need be.

However, I do NOT want these features included on my perfect device:
  • internet browser
  • video playback
  • audio playback

My mp3 player does all that stuff. It's a waste of money and space.

I'm going to cross reference this list with the matrix and TRY to come closer to making up my mind. But I still wanna see one before dropping a wad

Later,
Dave
