I don't think I said that but I would like to have a combo of a Kindle/Iliad and a TX.

So in terms of Astak's products, I might want the smaller device now, and hold out for a larger color device in the future (or once more magazines go online).
Right now I carry around a cell phone, PDA, and a reader (mostly the Kindle). Since I refuse to carry a backback or a large purse my small purse is over full. But the reading experience with an eInk reader is so superior to the PDA I'm willing to carry around an extra device .....for now.

That's why I never went with a smartphone such as the Treo, too bulky for a cellphone and too small a screen, at least for me, for a PDA.

I really want to see the Astak devices.
