Just to keep the record straight the JBL has the eReader (.pdb) DRM and
the B&N (.epub) DRM as well as the ADE (.epub&.pdf) DRM. I remove all
DRM from my purchases so the DRM features mean little to me, as well.
To get back to the thread with the pocketable form factor already covered,
the next form factor of interest, to me, would be a 10" color reader for
magazines, text books, reference material, and such. It would need a high
resolution display, a long battery life, be light weight, and little larger than
the display area. Page turn buttons and some for making selections easily,
but no keyboard. The best potential candidate might be the Mirasol display,
but I fear they will be gobbled up for "Media Players" with video, audio and
surfing functions instead of for simple ereading, and longer battery life.
Luck;
