Nope.

I still think the devices are too pricey although a Cybook (or other reader) isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Anything over $400 US is way too much, IMHO. And I don't want an e-reader to replace my laptop/desktop computer.

Read books, painless acquisition of new material and take notes, that would be my perfect e-reading device. I don't need to surf the internet or write e-mails from the thing, just read good books as comfortably as possible.

And take notes if need be on what I'm reading.

If the Gen4 CyBook changed nothing but included the new Wacom input at the same price, that'd be perfect for me.
