Hi Robert,
I have one additional question. Are you planning on offering an insurance on one or more of your devices (the way Sony does)? I have been very badly burned on Cybook, and would really like something more open-format than Sony, but the insurance on the device right now seems really tempting.

My answer is "I don't want to find out". I am going to protect that thing the same way I would a laptop or cell phone.

Well, my Dell Axim, RCA 1100 and laptop survived numerous mishaps. iPod was stepped on once. Not even mentioning the cell, which is dropped on a regular basis, and makes nothing of it, working without problems. My Cybook did not survive regular use, well, not even regular, because it was always in its covers and was never dropped, and was cared for way more diligently than any other device I own. I would say eink devices are about 5 times more sensitive and fragile than any other electronic device currently used. Protecting it the same way as iPod, laptop or cellphone will only result in a very early demise.
