I jumped on the eBook band wagon along time ago. I started with reading books on my Palm Pilot 5000. I've moved along with the technology as it has evolved. Of course, the BIG leap was e-ink, and I knew that eBooks were here for the masses. I bought a Sony 500, and replaced it immediately with a 505 when the 500 got smashed. It has, and will continue to serve me very well. But....

I've read a couple news releases about the "Mini" books that are around the corner from Cybook and BeBook. MAN! I REALLY like the idea of a more pocket-able e-ink form factor.

Any whispers from Sony that they might follow with a Mini-form-factor of their own?

I have become comfortable with the Sony devices (THANKS to Calibe), and would like to continue with them.
