I agree that EInk has an edge as a large screen dedicated ebook reader, but the likes of the DR1000S and (even more so) the Que are also pushing into "tablet" territory. PVI will have to get the cost of an 9.7" EInk screen down to somewhere close to a Pixel Que screen if it wants to be in anything more than the executive toy market. This may be happening, the enTourage eDGe is $490 with EInk and LCD screens.
