FJ,

Yes, and I looked at it--It might work, but ALL the readers had concerns over wi/fi and web surfing. The Augen in particular didn't get good "wi/fi" reception at least the one review I read. And I wanted two things--a reader and a web surfer for travel. The 89 price tag is tempting...but only if I could be certain that I could do email and get decent connectivity. I'll be traveling several places and that means the wi/fi conditions will be changing.

That said, it looks like a great reader and were I only in the market for a reader...that's a nice looking one.

I checked out a couple of word processing tools that would work on android. They actually seemed like they would do the job were I needing one, so in that respect, Android as an OS would work fine.

Ultimately I think a webpad would be ideal--but it doesn't exist yet (I think iPad should be multi-tasking and to be in my market it would have to be cheaper!!!).

The good news is that the market is going in that direction. In two years I'll have a lot more to pick from!

Thanks for the input and the link to the Augen.
