I actually like my eBw 1150 pretty well for reading, but it would be even better if it ran linux and could display non-proprietary files without conversion (which it would probably be able to do by now if it were a linux device). The battery lasts a long time, easily 20+ hours at the setting I leave the backlight at. I like the note-taking feature, but it needs a better way to export the notes (or be able to search them, at least). And the price was right ($114 including shipping). So most of the improvements I want are software, not hardware. For a reader. I'm still not giving up on wishing for an Info Pad, but that's another story.
