Congratulations, Issybird! I didn't expect to be be able to find a 950, given how they've been cleared out of Best Buy, let alone at this price.
I too started reading on a Touch, then an Android smartphone, then a 5" PocketBook 360, which I still love for its portability and integrated cover. My dream e-ink device will have an even bigger screen than 7" (but one that won't break too easily!) and annotation capabilities suitable for academia. That feature set is at least several months out, so I'm delighted to have a chance to try the 950 as an intermediate step.
