excellent avatar, pete. and congratulations on your choice. that will probably be my own e-ink choice in a (hopefully) not-too-distant future, although i am also keeping a close eye on the Astak devices and the as-yet still in developpment ETI e-ink version (decisions, decisions !).
first though i want to amortise the (non e-ink) device i only just recently bought, to test the water so to speak before jumping with both feet. i do love it quite a lot despite its shortcomings, so it's not too painful a wait.
