I for one an not sick of the iPod. (Since I don't watch television, what advertising?)
Why? Because it works. My wife has a G2 model, mines a G3, and i bought a shuffle to use as a flash drive with a music-playing bonus. They have been reliable and easy to use.
The closest equal in the ebook world is probably the eb-1150, which works conceptually a lot like an iPod. But converting your pre-existing content is still a pain, the file format is incredibly proprietary, and there is still no guarantee that your purchased content will survive the closure of FictionWise.
Maybe the Hanjin device or the Iliad will go somewhere, but history does not paint a pretty picture. They are both promising devices, but are both absolutely useless without content.
