[Sonist]

I am a relatively happy iLiad Book Edition owner. To me, size does does matter, and I do find the 8" a perfect medium for book-reading (I am keeping a "cheap" Sony for travel.) To others, other sizes may be better suited.

But I have not seen any major screen advances coming soon, so.... Of course, the prices will inevitably come down, but then whatever you buy now, will probably look like a Stone Age tool in a couple of years, anyway:-)

I don't know if this helps, but it's Christmas time and presents are always a good thing, particularly to oneself....
