The discussion is valid. Do you prefer an e-ink dedicated reader or a LCD multi-purpose device (like the SmartQ) that you can also use for reading books.
It might show some people that there are other large-screen devices out there, that can be perfectly usable for reading books. I personally had no idea such devices existed until somebody posted about them. I knew about the netbooks (which I personally would never use for reading books, that keyboard would become a liability very fast!), and tablets (which I thought were only in laptop sized formats, and thus too large), but not those UMPC's.
Now I know that when my PDA dies (or I get into an inheritance soon), I'll replace it not with a PDA (which was my first thought), but with an UMPC.
