@ hellmark, check it again yourself please... sil_lis removed my question in the quote, then said "i dont see a question in your last two posts" obviously trolling assuming he was trying to make a joke of my frustration for being ignored. Not discussing this further with you or anyone else, sorry not worth my time.

Agreed, I recently discovered there is a small community of people who have been working on the Nook Simple Touch reader. The biggest limitation of the device is the lack of hardware buttons, and you can have to install an application that overlays the android hardware keys on the screen, not a very good experience. It does work and they got numerous applications, outside of other reading apps (which is biggest value added in my opinion).
Compare that with the potential for rooting the new Sony Reader with the hardware buttons. It will be the best e-Ink device to run Android applications.
Furthermore, imagine the possibility for some sort of official "Market" for Android based applications optimized for an e-Ink display -- there already is an ever growing Android developer community out there after all.
