Thanks for the review! The device sounds intriguing, but horrible from a quality control point of view. I would have liked more information about the comparative pricing of the book service supported by the Onyx. I'm a person with a Kindle who enthusiastically backs the $9.99 price level limitation (don't buy if a book costs more), so I should care about that for other readers too, I would say. So my question would be, are books generally the same price, higher or lower than for Amazon. I know that's a difficult question to answer, in that some services might try to make a big deal about books out of copyright protection -- but I'm not counting those books, presuming that Project Gutenberg is available for me, somehow, on all readers.

Thanks again for the review!
