At this point we don't know if it will even support anything but the very old, very obscure, very obtuse, STAReBOOK .stk format. Oh sure, there are *rumors*, but those and $5 will (barely) get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Derek, why the cynicism?

Granted, we've all been burned by vaporware before but they are making some pretty strong claims in a short time frame (June is just a few weeks away).

Until June comes and goes and there is no product, then I'll be cynical.

But right now, I'm too busy looking forward to an e-reader that will be less than $200 that I can pick up from my local Wal-mart or Target in a month.
