Thanks everybody! We're very excited about the Galaxy Tab launch. Especially because it does drive home one of the central ideas we keep pushing on: there will be new, better devices for reading coming out all the time. Your library should be able to follow you there. And with Kobo, it does. I had a chance to play with one of the Galaxy Tabs in Berlin at the launch and I have to say, it's a pretty amazing reading device. Size of a large trade paperback, incredible screen, very very light. Definitely a "book in one hand, coffee in the other" device, a trick I can pull off with iPad only with heroic thumb strength ;-) Books with illustrations and colour look incredible. Our Android team outdid themselves. Definitely worth a look.

Thanks again for the kind words!
