I read a few threads reviewing the European version of the istory HD, with some detailed descriptions of the pdf capabilities. The specs page on their site lists a good variety of supported formats, including personal documents and even comics. The Euro version evidently didn't have wifi, so they must have done some software upgrades to enable that, along with Google books integration, and I have to imagine with Google behind it they'll include a browser of some sort. Hopefully they'll be sending out some of the devices ahead of time to the various ebook review sites, so we can get some hands-on videos and reviews. One thread mentioned short supplies of them in Europe, so hopefully they have plenty here for a good Target launch--I'm sure Amazon isn't thrilled to have an ereader that looks much like the Kindle sitting next to it in stores, at the same price as the wifi K3, especially if the screen is noticeably sharper.
