This is a fantastic idea. Bookcrossing with e-inc devices!! We should have several - preferably one of each available model. Any chance of using test-models that has been sent the MR-crew? And we should plaster the devices with MR-stickers or something, and...

Well - I hereby commit to serving the public this way if I win. I'm going to Italy in a few weeks - maybe I could leave it there, and make it the first stop of the MRBCC (MobileRead BookCrossing Community)...?
