I agree that they need to get one or two standardized formats out there to make life easier for ebook readers.

I somewhat agree with the e-ink thing. I personally use a eb1150 which is a LCD screen and I love it. I also have a iphone, which I don't like to read books on. The screen is too small for my taste.

While I like the look of the e-ink device, unlike some I don't get tired eyes from looking at a LCD screen for hours. So e-ink is not the primary thing I am looking for in a new device.

So I think there will be a market for ebook specific devices for people who really enjoy reading and students. Where as I see a large portion of the population going for the multifunctional PDA/cell phone/ereader device.

Either way it will be intersting to see what will happen.
