Regarding multi-functionality, am reminded of the phrase
Jack of all Trades, Master of none.
Before I got my new Treo, tried reading on old 650. Granted, for short bits and certain "intimate" actvities it was OK, but really, when I read I want to enjoy it.
Dedicated devices shave their place and their benefits.
The Readius indeed looks promising. I'll not part with my Treo anytime soon though, despite the many headaches it brings.
As for e-v-p books? I'll be quite happy when my bookshelves are traded in for artwork or chotchki display cases. Books are information, not trophies.
