Askyn,
NICE thread you read my mind. I have been waiting for a flexy device like that myself for a while. I Love the Idea of Readius as only a reader. Alas, I imagine another company may come out with that concept.
I have a Cybook and a Sony 505. I think both are wonderful devices considering this generation of ereader. Have you tried Eink? I must confess I was suspicious until I tried it myself and converted to Eink. You Will love it.
I have my Cybook as my home ereader and my Sony 505 I take on the road. Both have a 6 inch screen. Easy to fit in a jacket pocket..However NOT the pocket of your trousers or shirt. I would suggest buying one of the 6 inch devices. I imagine a rugged 5 inch device is on the horizon....however I fear 2010 will be the earliest we see one...and who knows what the price will be......

Right now im torn, I love the ruggedness of the Readius. The compactness, and the flex screen.
Just not sure if the priceing is going to be in my ball park, but then no one knows for sure ROFL
Im torn between the Cybook feature wise etc, or waiting to see how the radius comes out.
Guess i should curb the "Shiney shiney magpie" response and wait another month or two to see what is done with the Readius.
Have it be released and get some close ups of book print on the screen etc
See if a 5" display is large enough for me etc.
