I would wait 6 months. There is bound to be a new ereader for the same price with more capability in 6 months.

And I wouldn't buy an ereader in 6 months from now either, there is bound to be a new ereader for the same price with more capability in 6 months after that.

And I wouldn't buy an ereader a year from now, there is bound to be a new ereader for the same price with more capability in 6 months after that.

And I wouldn't buy an ereader 18 months from now, there is bound to be a new ereader for the same price with more capability in 6 months after that.

etc.

Really, if you wait long enough the absolutely perfect ereader will come, that will not be improved upon ever!

Oh, and I bet in 6 months there will be a much better Eee PC. You should have waited.
