It would have a lot going for it if it worked in Europe.
I like the 8" format for general reading. I find 6" a bit limiting and the DR1000 too big for gerneral reading. I'd like the wifi and or 3G connection to get books without being tied to a computer. I like the annotation ability in the DR and as I am certain the DR800 will be based on the same platform, I am assuming the Xournal can be ported which is a far more useful app than the companion software that comes with the DR1000 which is no use to Mac owners and doesn't work very well on Windows.
So I would consider it, however, as I have a DR1000 & Sony 505, I think it prudent to see how things develop and see what format develops for a single e-book reading experience. The present DRM debacle is confusing for newcomers and even ourselves as the wording of what works with what and how is a nightmare. B&N with a book share feature would be a more realistic way forward in my view, but that sounds like yet another format...
