Which one?


I'm looking for a device, unless I'm mistaken it doesn't exist yet, haha.

Given that these are the things important to me- and basically in order of importance, what would you get/ recommend?

1. E-ink reader! The fact that I love it so much was very unexpected to me, didn't know that I would be so drawn to it, but I am.

2. I want something that can take advantage of free books, not just what any store wants me to buy. This was what first drew me to an e-reader. Call me cheap, but I view it as not buying a new toy, but saving money on a bunch of books.

3. I know most people don't feel the same (in fact the e-reader industry doesn't seem to) but I want some simple apps. Not so much games & full web-browsing. I don't need movies or music. I DO want a calendar, calculator, rss reader, news, email would be nice. I have gotten free of the cell phone and love that, but I now find I don't want to go out and buy a watch a calculator or even really an ipod touch (etc). I think of my dream device as an e-ink reader with an electronic organizer built in.
Is there any device that comes with this at all?

4. I would love a touch screen, but I would pass on it if it got me all of the above.

Anybody who's seen my posts here probably knows I'm leaning toward the new Nook (and rooted if B&N does indeed plan on keeping it only a reader) but it has occurred to me that there may be a better choice that you guys know about..

Thanks in advance for any help in finding the 'match'!
