I'm not remotely as interested in purchasing e-books as I am in getting some kind of newspaper content. E-book-wise, there's so much stuff available legally and copyright-free, I'll be busy for years reading all that.

No, one of the main reasons I picked the Iliad over the Sony was the concept of subscribing to wi-fi news delivery. I cannot wait for that to happen. Makes so much more sense to me than reading the news on a computer or, heaven forbid!, bother with all that stuff about converting RSS feeds to PDF and whatnot. I want to get up in the morning, push a button and have a news-e-paper to read. With my coffee. Sitting at the breakfast table.
Now when's that gonna happen? I will pay MONEY for it....

P.S. Reading Pratchett as an e-book just doesn't feel right. Maybe re-reading the older ones, sure, but the newest? Nahh, not tempted .. must order it from the UK though, the US covers still suck...
