In my opinion, the ebook readers - whatever brand it is - is just beginning.
A lot of modern western countries, like germany and most of western Europe, are just starting with ebooks and i know from my own experience, that reading ebooks from a monitor or a small backlit lcd-screen is no pleasure at all.
I move a lot around the world, so my personal library is in storage. to keep on reading, i have my library on a hdd and keep reading with my palmone lifedrive. Devices like that are only a bad compromise to real books and i am really looking forward to christmas eve - and my 505, which is under the tree right now.
I grew up with computers for the last 25 years - so half of my life - but i can't get comfortable reading books or magazines from a computer monitor.
but thats just my 2 cent
take care
harry
