Let me throw my 2 cents in; as an aging baby boomer who doesn't always carry around reading glasses, I love ebook novels. I've been using a Handspring Visor and the backlit screen is extremely easy on the eyes. It's also great for reading in bed while my wife is asleep with the lights out. At home, I can plug in the charger, but on the road or on a flight, battery life is extremely limited because the screen is active and lit the entire time. I find the resolution on the ipod touch far better than my visor, but also wonder about the battery life. I hope fictionwise/ereader comes out with an ipod version soon, but am curious about turning the pages. The button up or down on the visor is great, but i'm not sure i'd like using a finger flick on the touchscreen.
