Yeah I know I can get another Ebookwise 1150 through ebay America (that's how I got mine in the fist place seeing as ebookwise dooesn't actually deliver outside America/Canada as if the rest of the world doesn't exist...). And even with delivery it would be about 1/2 the price of an e-ink device.

But I'm really tempted to go for an e-ink display. Normally I only work 2-3 hours on the computer with large breaks in between, so the slight strain from the ebookwise is not a problem. But I'm writing my doctoral thesis at the moment and after 7-9 hours of staring at a computer screen, my eyes are feeling the strain. I like to relax by reading fiction on my ebookwise, but atm it is adding to the eye strain. I'm hoping an e-ink device would reduce that.

Thanks for the tip about getting the books off the ebookwise. I'll try the yahoo group.
