nrapallo, bite your tongue! The last thing I want is a 1200 with eInk!

Now, my learned friends-cruising eBay US, I have come across an old RCA REB1100. The price is right (so far) and I understand I have to do a little finessing with filetypes-but is the screen comparable to the 1150?
Same looking hardware but two completely different reading experiences. The REB1100 has a B&W screen and uses the .RB format whereas the eBookwise-1150 has a 16 grayscale screen and uses the .IMP format. Some actually prefer the REB1100's look and font options over the less customizeable EBW1150. I don't use either anymore

And finally, another question-the lovely and forward thinking folks at Fictionwise used to do their book club dealy type thingy which included their Fictionwise branded 1150 reader. I can't find a thing about it on the site, do they still offer this?

Yours in humble gratitude and backlit goodness
The ETI website lists two retail partners; the one you're looking for, I think, is Filament Books.
