I am thrilled to have stumbled onto this forum, and I'm even more thrilled to see Garth at ETI jumping into the fray.

I have a bit of a unique perspective because I am primarily concerned with using the eBook devices for commercial applications.

My company uses the ETI-2 extensively for newspaper delivery. Newspaper carriers download their route delivery lists onto the ETI-2 device, and have the device mounted in their vehicle.

This is vastly safer than any paper or E-Ink system. People are driving around in the dark while trying to read and tossing projectiles out of their vehicles... *shudder*. There's no 100% safe way of doing this, but the ETI-2 solution is by far the best and safest in the industry.

These photographs really illustrate the point regarding backlighting:

I echo the thread author's desire to see a next generation backlit device with most of the features he requests.

Whether ETI decides to tackle this by retrofitting ETI-1 or ETI-2 technology, or by developing a next-generation ETI-3 device, I'm confident that they'll come up with some good solutions.

ETI has some brilliant minds. Personally, I'm excited to see what they could produce if they put their minds to a next-generation ETI-3 device.
