Yeah, I know. I tend to do that, especially if I have a small knowledge base of what's currently possible.
Just seemed like some people were tossing out almost every single thing I listed in favor of what I'm supposing is their personal favorite.
Maybe now that I have gotten some helpful info I should narrow the field.
1. Still want open-source. Not budging on this one. Yes, I know I'll have to occasionally deal with DRM anyway. But I want to see the producer make the effort.
2. Price range is still the same. I can't justify a $200 e-reader. I can only barely justify $150.
3. I'd still greatly prefer touch, and/or just a couple simply buttons.
4. I'd still like some format diversity.
What's dropped off the list...
1. Wifi/3g is now not very important to me since I realize I wouldn't be able to go to my school website with it. For anything else I may want, it's just faster and easier to do it on my netbook.
2. News/magazines. Since I could make that work with anything and I'm not even sure exactly how much I'd use it, I don't care about not having it set up from the factory.
Right now I'm looking at the Kobo and the BeBook, although the BeBook is probably out of my price range. I'm also looking into Bookeen and the PocketBooks (which one??).
