Hi David,
I agree 100% about the usefulness of e-readers. I'm just sometimes wondering why I have had a hard time to capture the interest of my friends about it (so yes, I'm proselytising, but failing so far !). Personally, despite my criticisms, I'm very happy with the reader.
You're right though, perhaps it's early times yet. I really hope this catches on, not only for personal reasons (i.e. better and cheaper e-readers) but it's a great technology in general. Instant easily-readable knowledge/entertainment without taking up space and little environmental impact !
About the fonts, it's not that any font I prefer is better than the inbuilt, seems that all the libprs500 fonts are miles ahead. (keeping subjective preferences out of it, and character count stable).
I'm quite curious to see if anyone managed to replace the inbuilt fonts and if page turning speed increased.
