Yes, but what kind of battery life do you get? None of my gadget toys with LCD screens get a really good battery life. Maybe a day or maybe 3 of heavy use at best and that is for basic mp3 players. However, that may have changed since I last made any major purchases of rechargable electronics. I am really hoping that the e-ink screens perform close to the advertised battery life. The only netbook numbers I've seen for battery life were pretty poor. Why would I want to have to recharge so often just to read? And to me the backlighting may be more interactive than e-ink but I am hoping the e-ink is more restful. After research automatic cat litter boxes tonight after a day of working at a computer too, I am starting to see the burn images when I blink my eyes. I don't get that with p-books so I'm hoping for the same with an e-ink device.
My husband asked me the same question that you posted so I have already thought about my answer.
