Dr. Drib has a good point. Right now, my only option is to wait, because I'm broke, *grin*.
But come tax time next year, the options are looking pretty intriguing, just from what's out and what's been announced at this point.
I've looked at the Smart Q7 and dismissed it - because of the high breakages reported here.
But still in the running are:
Always Innovating Touch Book
Archos 9
Viliv EX 70
JE 100
Astak Spectrum (or whatever they end up naming it - but I mean a Pixel Qi device from Astak)

I already own an Astak EZ Reader, and I am comfortable in saying their customer support is unmatchable. However, I am beginning to want/need something with a larger screen (for PDF's and comics), LCD or Pixel Qi (for color for comics) and I've never been one to gripe about multifunctionality. The other part of my thinking on this is that if I got a MID, then when/if the Google settlement goes through, IF they do what is being rumored and make the content available solely online, I still won't be tied to my desktop to read it.
