For what? PDF??? I don't think so... and with ePUB it's relatively size changes AFAIK. No word about PDF-Reflow, which is a must to use it properly on an eReader.

OK, there's lots of books available for PDF and ePUB is surely the latest craze everywhere, but instead of throwing more new devices (with just minimal differences) on the market, the manufacturers should come up with something more frssh/innovative like:

- plastic substrate screen
- good PDF support with reflow and adjustable fonts (even my several years old Adobe Palm PDA version had this!)
- color
- a $99,-- eReader (heck, there's even a $199,-- laptop...)
- activatable light (for reading in the dark)
- and so on...
