I know this is old news, but I searched MR for more details on it and couldn't find any. Well, one simple answer might be "because it's not an e-reader", but let's leave that to the course of time. So..here is what I've found so far:

That looks like a very interesting device indeed. I will keep my eye on this one. Thanks for sharing!

Really like the look of that. I've been thinking of the Notion Ink Adam as my next reader, but this has a slightly larger screen and that could be the clincher since I'm wanting to read comics on it. The bigger the better, whilst keeping the weight down. But since it's running Windows 7 that also means a much shorter battery life than The Adam most likely.

Will just have to wait for more info and some reviews.

That is very close to the form factor I have been looking for, and Win7 is a must for me personally. I sure hope it has decent battery life, at least 6 hours, 8 would be better.
