I was going to buy one, but ...

I have an iRex DR1000S and Sony PRS-505 and I think each has its own value, but at the same time lacks something.

I have waited for that something for a while. iRex Iliad was an option, but it was/is too expensive. Sony PRS-700 was next, but with the worse screen, no internet access and no dictionary, it is out of my interest. Finally, Kindle 2 has arrived, but with disappointment. For some, it may be useful, but for me it is not satisfactory.

Now, I am waiting for the next versions of the devices. If iRex Iliad 3rd edition comes out with lower price (the screen size deserves $500), if Sony improves the screen and adds Internet access and dictionary function, or if Amazon adds tablet pen feature (and remove the keyboard of which space may be used for larger screen) and opens the system (e.g., external storage), I would buy any one that comes out first.
