Hello Bob,

interesting but not my cup of tea:
1) I personally would never leave my eInk
2) Windows and Linux already support a wide variety of mobile hardware, different formats and drm falvors are missing, because it is expensive tp program and/or pay royalties
3) I think battery life of more than a week should be a given

You describe JAMD (Just Another Mobile Device), but I state that ebook readers are different. eInk makes reading more or less strainless for your eyes. LCD, oled and so on won't have that advantage. So I see ebook readers always in a class of their own.
