which screen do you want?

judge by what i saw: This ebook is a either a 7 or 9/10 inch version of Asus's ultra thin eeepc line.

The left screen would be a touch enable Eink class screen while the right colour one is a touch enabled thin LED lighted LCD.

So basically, it replaces the keyboard base area with a ebook screen.
i wonder how usefull it is?
Can one screen it be flipped 360 degree all the way to the back? (unlikely for screen protection purposes!)

It is unwise to throw in a colour ebook screen at this stage for under 500 USD as the Fujitsu colour reader asking for 1000 USD!!!

However the more players enter the market the cheaper and better the ebooks will be in the long run.

So, hold on to your current one if you can, in a year time there will always be a better one around the corner just as PC / notebooks used to be...
