I think the answer to the form factor question has to take into account what kind of ebook you like to read. For most of my adult life, I have been reading fiction and non-fiction books that have no or very few illustrations. So, an ereader that just puts text on the screen in the easiest to read manner is what I'm looking for. However, as a kid, a teen and a young adult, I still collected and read comic books. If I was still an avid comic book reader, then I'd want my ereader to be color and be able to display the ecomic (

) in a way that gave me the same feel of a pcomic (

).

So right now, I am satisfied with my combination of my iPod touch, which I carry with me everywhere and can pull out any time I want and my Sony PRS-300 which I am just getting used to. I'd like the software on the Sony to be a bit more like the software on my touch, but I'm good for now.

However, if I wanted to read comic books or magazines or anything else with pictures, I'd be looking for another solution.
