My 2 cents

I've been following the advent of this new reader off-line for a little while.

I'm very excited about the new eInk readers and have been ever since I'd heard about the new technology some years ago.

My main attraction is being able to get technical documents which are unavailble in paper form. Without the reader, I must either rely on a monitor or print it out. Both options are not attractive to me. The addition of being able to put copyrighted and public domain books on the reader is a real bonus for me.

Many of the so-called "Experts" who poo-poo the lack of backlight are unaware of the fact that reflected light is much easier on the eyes than direct light. I for one do NOT want a back light, my eyes are poor and need all the help they can get.

thanks for reading so far!
