I appreciate the offer, and may take you up on it.

I really am glad that there will be a great diversity of devices available. I just wonder how I'll ultimately make a decision -- and when I'll make it. I sometimes find that when there are too many choices, no one choice has a feature that is so compelling as to make it the undisputed must-have device, so I them procrastinate. Which only makes the problem worse because it gives time for even more choices to appear. I believe they call this the neverending circle of my life's decision-making process.

There are only certain things i know for certain: (1) I will not buy a Kindle; (2) I will only buy a device that supports ePub (in hopes that it will be proof against obsolescence at least for 6 months); and (3) the screen must be at least 6 inches and e-ink (i.e., I don't want to read on an LCD screen). After that I'm in a quandary.

The biggest advantage to the Plastic Logic, iRex, and the B&N devices are that they will give me access to the B&N bookstore.
