Well, assuming the user reviews (except about the OS) are decent, I'll be finding out after the first of the year. An Archos 9 is on my list for Christmas/Anniversary gift. The fact that it runs Windows 7 is to me a bonus, because it will run every ebook reading software out there (except Amazon, of course) without having to coax it, or that it's just not available.
