Anyway, the ideal would be if there were one essay that explains the issues that drive selection of a reader, and then lays out the choices. The ebook matrix in the sticky is great info if you already understand the issues, but it doesn't really layout the choices if you are a noob. Is there a source that lays everything down in one spot?
Michael, exactly! I have been going through a somewhat rigorous process, involving a thread I started here, at the Cybook G3 forum, at the Hanlin forum and at the Sony PRS-505 forum. Prior to all of that, I lurked here for several weeks before I joined and began to ask questions.

And as I have collected the - almost entirely useful, and often passionate - information and opinions from members here, I find myself thinking to myself: "self, all of this information really should be collated, organized and presented in essay form somewhere here in the forums".

Yes, the comparison matrix is useful - and yes, the wikis are also useful - but there is really no one document that speaks completely to the selection process. At least not that I have found yet.

So, I couldn't agree more. Great idea.
