Definitely keep an eye out here. You haven't mentioned the Iliad, so I presume that's out. There's a Melbourne(? or was it Perth?) mob that have the Cybook as well, which might be an option. Have a search round here for Astak Mentor/Netronix for something that might be reasonably imminent (like an Apple tablet/UMPC is "imminent"?
