Let's hope so Graham, I have an irex 10 ds reader (which is nothing to write home about what with the touch screen glare and the non pear screen, but at least it half did its job) that cracked a few weeks and they won't fix it for me, and I've been patiently waiting to for the likes of sony and that long lost vapourware of plastic logic. So out of three major players one won't release even a 9.7" device, the other folded, and the third came up with nothing.

At least if amazon had epub (and to a lesser extend wifi) I d go for the dx graphite so I could borrow library books there. But now it seems I have to have a sony for reading novels and pretty much nothing else for epub's sake, AND get the kindle dx too for reading some larger text and for reading with more ease, and I already have an ipad (which I can't read books on because of the eye strain but which I enjoy for pretty much everything else), iphone, macs, and a macbook. Talk about technology simplifying one's life... I might as well ditch all them and just grab a book, lol!
