I don't understand why they keep on comparing the 1000 with Kindle, Sony, etc. These are completely different devices.
I could never really make use of a Kindle, because I would like to read business-related A4/Letter PDF documents on such a device (they look terrible with a resolution of 800x600 - even on the PC).
I really need a high-resolution, > 9inch device with bookmarks and a good PDF viewer. The 1000 seems to be the first device that fulfills this.
What bugs me so far (and prevents me from buying one)...
- The overall negative feedback here in the forum regarding IRex and their support (patches, etc.)
- The fact that the device broke when falling on the floor in the blip.tv video (should not happen)
- It seems to be very slow, even if it's quicker than the Iliad, I think it's slow
If the touchscreen version would be 400 Euros, i'd risk it. But not for 599...
I'll wait for some more releases and software patches. We'll see.
