Now the delay of getting the Sony Reader got me thinking: Is it really worth getting? I'm sure that there will be no after-sales service here if I do get it. For that price, I can get an iPod Touch and use it in conjunction with Calibre and Stanza and do my reading from the Touch. With the iPod Touch, I can get good after-sales service from local Authorize Apple Retailers.
But what I'm after is the experience of reading my eBooks from a *real* eBook device.
Any advice?

Go to the apple dealer, have a look at a book in Stanza and then decide if that is good enough for you. Many people are happy with that, many prefer ebook devices. I personally think the screen is much too small. It is ok for a chapter or two, but not for extended reading.
