I just got my first Clie a few months back. It's an nx73v and I love the silly thing. Most of all I like it's hinged "A" frame build and that it can be self supporting. Plus I can operate it one handed. Luckily it supports left-hand operation because most days my right hand is not up to the task of holding much of anything.

Like you I dearly would love an ereader device. But none really offers me more over what I currently have with the Clie. Seriously other then the bigger screen and the ability to read outside (that actually is a BIG DEAL) but beyond those two things I cannot find justification for the cost of a Kindle or even a Sony 505. I actually might pop for a Sony 500 should I find one under $100.

There is just no single compelling reason for me to buy a dedicated reader. I would love an iLiad but for $700 it is nice buuuuut....next choice would be a Kindle with Sony bring up the rear and well off the pace.

I do seem to recall reading about an OLED (I am assuming you mean OLED not OLPC) display based device recently. It might have been a blurb from some CES2008 article. I just don't remember. If I can find/recall the info I'll pass it along.
