My son will be 15 in December, and I have decided that it's time he gets a reader.

Strangely enough my wife agrees! Probably because he said that when I buy my Adam/Lattice with PixelQi (whatever comes out first) he wants to read the Sherlock Holmes books and Jules Verne books on that. So I guess if I should have a change to do anything on my pad, he will need to have an ereader. So what should I get? Price up to $300, mostly for books, but it would be nice to have the ability to surf mobile oriented sites like Wapedia. And read comic books, but of course anything in color would be a lot more expensive. Or is there anything coming up soon?

By the way I don't want the smallest screens, bigger is better, I think. And if it can read Norwegian e-books (when they decide on the format, it will probably be that Adobe stuff) that would be nice.
