Glad to hear that you like the EB1150. I'm just twiddling my thumbs waiting for mine to arrive sometime in the coming week. I even tried to buy a couple of books from the eBookwise site, but couldn't apparently download them because I can't yet put in a device ID. Like you, I'm taking a conservative approach with my dollar right now, wondering if I want to spend the greater amount of cash on an e-ink device. For now, I'll be happy just to have something bigger than my Palm to read with!
