Hi,

by the title of my username you can guess that at least one point I had a Kindle. Yes, I had Kindle 1.0 and sold it probably four months ago. The reason I sold it and the reason I have no ebook reader to replace is that so many of them don't quite have all I want. The Kindle has the ease of use, the search bar and other neat features but it doesn't have good PDf support, even the newer Kindle doesn't have as much support as I'd like. The Sony's are great too but what I've realized is that what's most useful to me is localizing all of my productive needs.

I'm looking for an ebook reader that can organize, add and edit contacts as well as manage my calendar. In addition to ebook reading.The Samsung Papyrus looks like it can do a lot of that. It's got a calendar, to do list, contacts and other productivity stuff in addition to being an ebook reader. I was using my itouch for that but it was a bit cumbersome to handle the touchscreen on such a small surface for me.

The Samsung one looks nice but it's going to be around $300 I heard. Is there an ebook reader that's been around longer that might be a bit cheaper? Did the first Sony PRS have these kind of features? Is there one in say the $200 range with these features? I don't mind losing stuff like web and search bar, I'm more interested in having an eorganizer that is also an ebook reader and not LCD.
