Well, I hoped the Astak Mentor would have been revealed at CES but no. Besides Samsung's vaporware, there was nothing.

After all the discussion, the two contenders are the Astak EZReader and the Kindle, with a strong lean towards the Kindle for better book pricing and easy use of our existing Amazon account. But since the Kindle is 6-8 weeks away from being in stock, I can wait and see if by some miracle the Mentor comes to light or Kindle 2.

Since I'm moving abroad in a month, I don't think I'll be reading a whole lot for the next 4-6 weeks anyway :-)
