I am really liking the idea of the Mimas as long as it can follow through. I don't *need* glass but I wouldn't want to scratch the screen while writing. It needs to be resilient. And in my opinion the backlight is worthwhile because I also appreciate the idea of Android functionality without the killer brightness if I choose to surf or have some task to do at night.

My job makes use of large amounts of PDFs which would be readable on this device, I can also use a myriad of templates that would also be useful at work so no more losing notes or scraps of paper. A Mimas will make it easier to remain organized.

I can justify purchasing a Mimas as a productivity device but I want to buy it because it supplements the capabilities of my Oasis as well as doing so much more.

Would Calibre Companion work well on a device with these specs? What is the best way to use store and organize my 13000+ item library on something like this? Could I load Project Gutenberg?

If I can convince my wife to let me get one then it will be my first device of this type. And as Christmas is coming as well as my birthday and Chinese New Year I'd say chances are good :-)
