That's rather ingenious. I didn't think Barnes and Noble could pull this off well.. (given their high priced online and brick and mortar stores) but that's a sleek device. The LCD is particularly brilliant - browsing, searching, etc.. all these are agonizingly slow on the Kindle (annotations having a level of their own in Dante's Inferno).

I'd be sorely tempted but all those books on my Kindle weren't binding me to it. Stupid DRM. But then again.. that's why they have it! It traps you!

Still, given the books I aren't available elsewhere there's not much to do about it.
