My single biggest disappointment with all eInk readers to date is that the designers have dropped the ball on physical ergonomics. Please do the (simple, inexpensive) research to see what "good" is in this area. And please CONFIRM that you are paying attention to this issue.

(Sorry about the shouting, but this is a really big deal...)
i could not agree more. and there are plenty more of us who feel the same way. the eb1150 should have set the ergonomic standard for the new generation of devices, instead of being (apparently) completely forgotten. if ANY company brings out a new device that gets close to it, but lighter and with an e-ink screen, i will buy it in a second.
