I beg to differ regarding the Nokia 770. I also have recently purchased one (on sale at $299) on the basis of this recommendation (

Rather than buy a second one, I thought I'd try the Nokia. It's wonderful. Highly legible with instant page turning. I use the FBReader, which enables a wide range of font and type size formatting. In advance, I decided againt the upcoming eInk readers, as they have reported to have quite slow page turning and no back lighting. I can read for over seven hours without recharging the battery. And of course I can surf the internet with it and read email with it. But the eBookwise is excellent also, at a third the price.
