Thanks for sharing that, I'm fascinated by the ebook market. As it's still at a very early stage, it seems to me that it's going to change rapidly over the next couple of years. Understanding what people want/expect from the market perhaps gives an indication of where things are heading.

Personally my work involves a lot of 'early adopting' of new technology, so when it comes to personal electronics I'm probably a bit more reticent to jump in until I've got a good sense of where things are going. My phone, laptop etc. all typically last three or four years between upgrades as I try to choose well spec'd but stable technology over the flavour of the month stuff.
