My husband also reads on his iTouch, but I can't stand it. I can browse my online cookbook recipes on the thing, and that's about it for reading. eInk and lcd really are two completely different markets for ereaders (with some overlap, of course). My dad is a Convenience Guy -- he reads his iTouch on the go and when traveling and reads his Sony when he's at home.

? Worried because functions overlap? My camera and my iTouch and my laptop all take photos, but I still have a digital camera. I don't understand why you think I should be worried.
