I made the woot purchase and have been researching a lot about the pocket edge. I am glad to be joining the community and look forward to trying out the device.

I just recently got a kindle 3g from amazon.com and have already submitted my return request. I loved the kindle, but after seeing this on woot I felt like the kindle was missing some things...things that can only be capable with touch screen. If entourage folds, my next e-reader won't be for at least a good year or 2 and by then, there will be something better.

Battery life was the big selling point for me on the kindle, but with what the PE looks capable of, 6-11 hours of realistic battery life should suffice.

The price on woot was hard to justify the 190 I paid for a kindle.
