Well, Harry, I guess you're right, but guess is the keyword here. Many of the devices mentioned here and in other places are not easily available in Germany to buy, let alone look & try. Yes, I know with sufficient determination I could buy one stateside, pay duties and stuff, but no, not really. Secondly, I find the prices for anything beyond the "Ebookwise" (?) - who make a point of not selling outside the US of A - totally out of proportion for a single-purpose device. I wouldn't dream of coughing up 4-500$ for an MP3-player either. And thirdly, and in the same vain, I find these devices to cumbersome for single-purpose - I'm looking for combination gizmos to help me cut down on number of devices plus associated wall-plugs, memory thingies etc. A question of priorities, no doubt. But, show me the 200g, 8" screen device which I can easily mail-order for say 150EUR and I'll take it - single-purpose or not . (Oh yes, and it's gotta do PDF and MS Reader, as that's what I've already got a lot of.)
