cassidym, good to hear you're happy with the Sony, I know a lot of people who are also loving it. I really want to be able to make annotations but the 700 that had touchscreen also had not-so-good reviews. I haven't checked out the new one (600?) much mainly because I'm hoping that 2010 will be the year that eReader availablity explodes on the market. Of course, that's what I thought about 2009 also.
Musicman, as long as the display comes CLOSE to eInk quality, reading would not be so much of an eyestrain. The number one reason I've not bought an eReader yet is because of all my LIT ebooks. Besides, I'm not about to accumulate yet another few hundred books in another format only to see that format fade away like LIT has. Ironically, I started buying in LIT format precisely because it was a Microsoft product and I stupidly assumed that meant it would eventually be the most popular format. DOH!
ShortNCuddlyAm, thank you!
Faenad, thanks for the heads-up on that Toshiba JournE! I missed that one completely somehow. Can't wait to check one out if/when it's available here in the US. Of course it will also depend on the screen quality and price. Who knows, maybe they'll go with a Pixel 3qi screen when they're in full production.

Lit is one of the easiest format to convert to something else.

Yeah, I know, but I REALLY do not want to go through the hassle if I can help it. That's why I said that my ideal eReader would run some version of Windows, then I don't have to deal with the LIT DRM problems or conversion. (note the phrase above my avi- "
No Tech Patience")
