I'm waiting like forever for a large screen reader. Every time a new reader comes out, it has the frakkin' 6" screen again. The big Astak frustrates me like hell, why it gets delayed again and again? Kindle DX will be USA only (and no card slot and no folders... is it too much to ask?). iRex is totally overpriced. Maybe I should go on a hunger strike to get things moving?

BTW, I'm deaf, and the potential of e-ink readers for disabled people who can acquire information only in written form is enormous. The battery life and good readability (no eye strain) is very important. Big screen too, because often you need to read PDFs or even a scanned handwritten page. Give me a reasonably priced 9.7" inch device and I'm happy.
