I agree! I have a Sony Librie. Software is ready and rather good, but the devices limitation is screen size and resolution. Even landscape and splitting one A4 to two does not make them readable..

Anyway for buying and reading books and probably soon other content it is for sure a winner. I might have bought already the ereader... but getting it here is difficult and officially connect works in US only.

And as Scotty stated book supply is not that great yet.

Hope that until the end of the year things will be better. Announced pdf features are needed and is it really that difficult to get some book supplier to write DRM software for the iliad? I'm still hoping for it.
