We're only hung up on that because that's what
we care about, radleyp!
But you're right of course, that's not what most folks care about. Carry around 2 or three, maybe, but more than that is just bragware to most folks.

Actually, they haven't
done much advertising so far, something several have commented on as being odd.
I think the reason is that they realize the biggest selling point of the Reader is the e-ink display, which can't be truly understood except in person.
That's why they're going to the trouble of putting them in Borders stores I expect. The display sets it completely apart from all the e-reading stuff that has gone before, and folks can't see that until the
see it.
I like Bob's idea of getting a list of "research" questions together! But maybe a new thread?
