I would absolutely rather want a dead line on top of the screen than to shell out 275E for a screen update. I just saw a video presentation of the Amazon Kindle, and while it is no option for me (closed and just a reader), it does seem to be a very nice piece of hw. A somewhat broken display should hold up long enough for a competitor to the iLiad with an 8" vizplex display to get there.
