Thanks for the welcome, Bob

Talking about display (a little bit off topic), I found an interesting short article.
Photo on the article is supposedly a leaked photo for a touch screen iPod video (quite big!...and awesome!) http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/portable-...ure-156619.php

From that, i imagine that iBooks will feature a touch screen just like iLiad.
Another factor i like is that Apple (so far) is not a DRM freak like Sony.
iBooks might as well be the ultimate reader without the words "proprietary" attached to it (affordable reader which can read HTML, txt, pdf and other common types of text files natively)

I guess i'll wait a little bit before i buy Sony Reader :P
(and maybe Sony Reader will get hacked pretty soon after its release, allowing people to read html, txt files)
