to buy..
As some sort of "GNU/Linux extremist", I'd like to avoid those "GPL-violaters".

Is there really "no" company, which makes an really GPL-conform device?
From the user piont of view I'd like to have:
-eInk / SiPix Display ~6"
-touchscreen for notes
-integrated dictionary (perfect would be: tab on the word with the sylus and the translation apears)
-most important formates: ePub, txt, pdf, (DRM seams inevitable, so: sadly yes) and very nice would be: OASIS

After all I know this is sort of "not on this planet".
Everybody is invited to proof me wrong on this :-)
(would be most happy to be proofed wrong in this..)
