WHich is green on black. Which is ok at first but it really gets to me especially since i can see the glow of the backlight. All the bells and whistles with it being rooted are a waste to me as i have found out. I definitely shoulda gone with the eink screen of the classic nook or the Kindle 3.

I feel your pain, you are not alone, and it's not your imagination! ;-) ...

Kind of a ironic that you are also an IT guy. I truly recommend you a Kindle 3 or even better, a Kindle DX. I can find all my IT and database books in Amazon o even O'reilly, which also sells in mobi format.
