Forgive me for piggy-backing, but I had a few questions about purchasing an Ebook.
My girlfriend just bought a kindle 2, and aside from the DRM in Amazon's books (a sore point for me), and the bizarre joystick for highlighting and navigation, I was very impressed with the quality of the design and the abundance of features. My worries with Amazon are that it seems to be geared more towards selling books than selling readers and as such is not as likely to drop the price or be as friendly toward non-proprietary formating and mucking about as, say, the Hanlin series of readers. I don't know much about the Sony, but I have a grudge against the company for some reason. I'm not sure why.
I seem to be thinking of jumping in to the Ebook market at the wrong time--a year before everything I need in an Ebook reader is on the product of just about every competing company ... and color E-ink comes out.
I was wondering if there was a product that allowed for free internet, much like the Kindle 2, but in a broader sense, such as through real Wi-fi? Or will I need to wait for the Readius or the Boox for a feature like that?
Are prices going to sit up above $300 dollars for much longer, or are there some readers with most of the "modern" features for closer to $200?
