I really, really love my nokia 770. I geek out with making the background image black and the text glowing green. My favorite feature is that I can change text size, font, and screen orientation on the fly (lay in bed, on stomach, reader close, font small-lounge at starbucks, gadget at arm's length, font large). It's wi-fi often ignores wep keys and let's me surf (don't know how, not going to ask). I literally have 800 books stored in its card. In a pinch it is a laptop replacement for a weekend. I ditched the metal half-case for a slim black aluminium second-skin from box-wave, and it's pretty bad-ass.

I have successfully dropped a bunch of textbook-like pdfs on it. no problems. since it is so compact, it fits well in large coat pockets and small backpack pockets.

Did I mention that it is kinda bad-ass?

When I do finally have the opportunity to pick up an e-ink reader, I am going to go for the Cybook. The kindle is too ungainly for my tastes, and I am still angry with Sony about the whole MiniDisk thing.
