Ergonomics look decent and I might live with the sealed battery, but:

- Built-in wireless is indifferent
- Adobe DRM is strong minus
- Apparent lack of Mobipocket support a deal killer
Basically its a Sony clone with wireless.

I'd sooner move to Kindle.
Now, just to make sure that I get this right: you can't read Mobi on the Bebook 2 ? If this is true, it would be a big step backwards, not forwards.

Since last autumn I am interested in ebooks and at first I wanted to get a Bebook. When I heard the first news about the Bebook 2, I wanted to wait some more and get that one. But then I found a slightly used Bebook 1 at ebay, at a pretty low price. O.k. after the shipping from the USA, and the german import taxes, I didn't save much money (only about $40) but besides that, I am really happy with my Bebook 1. I am pretty sure that I will not upgrade within the next few years.
