Well, if Kindle goes against your religion you're in trouble.
If you really want a 10 in class e-ink reader today they're pretty much the only game in town. And they are *not* bad readers at all. A bit heavy because of the metal plate in the rear. They *are* solid. And stable. The software does the absolute minimum an ebook reader needs to do and not much more but what it does it does well. You get one font. Caecillia. You get several well-chosen font sizes. You get a couple of margin settings. You get decent TTS (when the idiot publishers allow it). You get highlighting and note taking. You get dictionaries (mostly commercial). You get the newest and greatest eink screen. And free wireless.

It's not a bad product.
The worst you can say about it is that it is a great storefront first and a good ebookreader second. And that is hardly a bad thing.

I have a 6inch K2 myself.

But my go-to reader is the PB360. Suits me to a 'T'.

And I'm hoping the 901 can give me the same software experience in a 10in class reader.

Good luck with your hunt!
