Sometimes for recreational reading, I wouldn't mind a larger screen, too.

I've been a bit out of touch--is Kindle DX pretty much the only game in town these days for large-format readers? Looking at the MobileRead Matrix, it looks like everything else is vaporware (the Que), no longer sold (at least I couldn't find the iRex 800 on brief searching), or Sony (which I will not buy, see above).

Am I missing something somewhere? Do any of the non-Que "to be released" products actually show some promise of coming to market and staying there? I've looked at iPad's, too, and wasn't all that impressed--too heavy and I don't like the screen for reading.
PocketBook 902/903 look very promising.
