FYI, I went with a Kindle

Friend was willing to part with his older model so he could order the new one. I tried it out couple of times, tested the epub->mobi conversion of Calibre and it all seemed to work pretty nicely.

My major source for books anyway is Amazon, so I can't really skip that part of my hobby. We'll see what happens once some native ebook stores start popping up and what format they go with.

Then again, after trying the Kindle out at work and now trying it at home, I do get some interesting errors during the conversion (http://bugs.calibre-ebook.com/ticket/6598), but that's not really for this topic :-)
