I was waiting for such a device and I really like it, but it is not enough for me to make the switch. P-book won this round but (IMHO!) the war now looks hopeless for the mass marketed p-books. Few tweaks and features for a few $$$ less and the p-book will be twitching on the ground in agony soon to become a museum piece or a luxury item.

I would point out that a p-book will always win every round, every day, and twice on Sunday. The true comparison, in my mind, is not Reader to p-book but Reader to p-book*s*. And I believe the Sony Reader wins or at least makes it a draw. Its certainly easier to study and research many p-books but the Reader wins in portability and storage hands done.
