Hi, I'm Boris, and I'm Canadian (we can't all be perfect ). I've been following enTourage and the eDGe since late last year while waiting for the Microsoft Courier prototype to become a shipping product. The eDGe looked much more likely to ship and I preordered Jan 1. Its appeal is the book form factor, the large technically-oriented eInk screen, and the large netbook/Android LCD screen, not to mention dual mics and speakers, and the absence of a noisy fan. I work as a Windows software developer and use my eDGe for reading technical books, taking occasional notes, and sketching out ideas for UIs and complex pieces of code. I do tend to use it more to read novels and game manuals (currently StarCraft II), and lately any long newspaper or blog article I find on the web and don't have time to read right away (I use the browser "send to reader" function). I enjoy participating in eDGe forums, starting with the (now disbanded) Google group Guy started in January, a bit on MobileReads, and from Day 1 on the enTourage Forums (although you wouldn't be able to tell from my current post count, but that's another long and sordid story you really don't want to hear ). I value civilized behaviour in forums, and I greatly appreciate how well these forums work, and how helpful and friendly its members are.
