Question 1: Where's the best place to get a Pocket eDGe? I know the product (maybe the company) is heading for EOL.

Question 2: What's the best way to use it: stock 1.6, ermine, or root it with something else?

Question 3: The ideal application for me is as follows: connect a full keyboard via USB or Bluetooth and use it as a word processor, with the e-Ink screen as the editing panel. Is this even possible?

I like to write, and use a Kindle 3 for proofreading and annotations, finishing the edits back on a regular PC from my notes. I suppose what I really want is a PixelQI tablet with a full keyboard attachment, but I haven't seen any available aside from prototypes at ridiculous prices. The eDGe looks like it might fit the bill if I can finagle it into what I want.

Many thanks for any answers.
