First of all, thank you all for the replies and the warm welcome!
Don: How would you rate the experience of E-ink versus LCD for ebook reading? I have the latter (the N800 is a truly great device) but the limitations (mainly battery and reading software) can be pretty important. I have never seen an E-ink reader up close, so how would you rate it?
guguy: For 180 pounds, the Gen3 is not really that cheap, since I can add few more Euros and buy it from the Netherlands. Also, for a similar price (around 225 Euros) I can get a PRS-505. Which do you think is a better option, if in the end I scale up to such prices? In case it makes a difference (for SW purposes), I use Linux on my PC.
Harry: This is exactly my problem. The PRS-500 is supposed to be a cheap alternative with the 505 and 700 in production, but it seems to cost as much as the 505!
I understand that this might be drifting a bit into the 'Which device should I buy' territory, but I hope that someone with an E-ink device they don't need will be able to offer it to me for a comfortable (for me) price.
