oooh, I was just a mouse-click away from ordering - but then I read the
broken screen thread, and I think that probably any of the standard devices are not going to be that great for my husband. His work is pretty rough and rugged - film crew with lots of setting up and taking down, moving from location to location, tons of equipment being hauled about, and he carries tools, batteries, chargers and all manner of things in his backback(s). One reason I wanted to get him an e-reader is so he can use it for work-related scripts and schedules as well as regular reading - and obviously anything with a glass screen is going to be stoopid bad.
I guess I'll wait for the Plastic Logic reader, and cross my fingers that they will offer international language support. I'm disappointed because (of course) I wanted to get my hands on a Cybook anyway and this price rocks, but even with care I don't think there's any way it (or the Kindle, Sony, etc.) would survive.
Damn. There goes my supercool Christmas present idea.
