Strange things about the clicks- I found them to be reassuring that the buttons were strong/durable. Didn't dawn on me that some would be put off by the click. It's good to know.

Got a suggestion for ya. If you are in Portland, then it's just a drive up I-5 to Seattle. Please, Please, try to make it to NORWESCON over Easter Weekend (at the Red Lion Inn at SeaTac airport.) There are lots of people who LIKE TO READ (there are usually about 3000 people at the con), and while most of them are more into SF or F, they are very interested in ebooks.
If you can show up with hardware to show off, you will be popular, and you can most likely either get a table in the dealer's room or find an existing dealer that would be willing to handle sales for the weekend. My biggest problem is finding actual hardware in a condition that I can hold and use (Fry's usually has the things in demo mode, and mostly fixed in place so you can't hold them.) Every extra model would be a bonus, and you'll stand out from the Sonys and Kindles.
