the large model astak will likely be on the market long before kindle 2 comes out. that looks interesting, esp if it can handle pdfs WELL. and i mean VERY WELL. 8x11. mmm. likely, they won't be the only ones. pity it can't handle mobipocket, but it CAN html. goody
i would like to see at LEAST 16 greyscales for a kindle 2, faster refresh/page turning rates, like pretty fast. as i recall, with my college texts, as now with references for work, i want to be looking at multiple places and flip around FAST. ebooks are great for linear reading, but well, even with bookmarks, well, not so much the flipping about.
so yes, me too. wake me when there is product on the shelves. a design on paper means nothing. a prototype for demo maybe... but what's it going to be? 6 months? a year. no hurry.
