One other consideration is that it is not just about hardware alone. If you buy the reader you are pretty much tied to the eBookwise store. I take the parent, Fictionwise, at their word that they will expand the title count at the store, but that needs to happen before the 1150 becomes a "must have" reader for people who want to read current releases. It is getting there, but it needs some more work.

I hear there are already tools to convert plain text and html to 1150 format, so that should will allow the vast PD/free works out there at PG, Blackmask, etc to be used. Of course, the brand new ebook reader might not have the experience or expertise to know or do this, initially, but still...
