anyway,the longer they wait,the greater the competition, the lower they'll have to price their reader.

I just hope the battery life will be great,and it can display a4-like papersizes and comicbooks very well!

With the slower speed of the e-ink displays, one could easily equip this device with larger and cheaper flash memory (in the likes of 4 to 8GB),without raising the manufacturing price by more than $10 (compared to 128/512Mb flash memory).
I think the extra storage space will be needed if PDF, and PPT become the main fileformats.(10-50MB per book/presentation,compared to 1-2MB per LRF book).
