This probably isn't the right place for this post, but can an eink device run Windows Mobile so that we could use programs like ereader, mobipocket, etc? Because I just don't see Sony making a lot of money on the books but rather making money on the reader (like the Apple Ipod business model). So if the books are out there already, why not focus on making the best reader possible and allowing readers of differing formats.

I think that a unit with a calendar, address book and reader would be really successful, particularly with the mom set who is used to carrying around a purse, a calendar and an address book.
