I was also interested in this device. I had a Nokia N800 that I used for a few years. The N800 was a very good ebook reader, but I wanted a larger screen. I also have a netbook and read on it, and although it is smaller than a laptop, it is still a bit too large and heavy as an ebook reader.

I have detailed elsewhere my very recent encounter with eInk (PRS-505). It just isn't there yet for me.

Something like the Q7 does appeal to many of us. It certainly would make a nicer reader than the N800 was. I ultimately ordered a Jetbook, based on size, battery life and price. The Q7 screen size would be preferable, but the overall device size looks to be bulkier and heavier than I want.

I haven't yet seen my "ideal" ebook reader, but it is encouraging that we are seeing more and more low-priced devices on the market. I suspect that in a few years, I will see something that I would consider ideal, or close to it.
