The Ectaco jetBook Lite with AA-Batteries actually looks pretty good to me. I prefer user-replaceable batteries to proprietary lithium batteries, and some of the functions mentioned in the video clip (search function, dictionary support, etc.) are not even available on significantly more expensive units.
A key issue is lack of WiFi support - I like having an Internet connection, and have thus been closely following units such as the Kindle and Txtr. But the argument has been made here and elsewhere that to become completely immersed in a book, easy Internet access is actually more of a distraction than a benefit. I'm beginning to see the sense of this line of thinking, and am now more seriously considering a lack of WiFi as a benefit rather than as a disadvantage.
