allow me to clarify.. i am looking to submit a device that is FUNCTIONALLY and physically identical to the 1150, but with more modern hardware, and software. this because, as yet the closest to it in a modern device i have found is the jetbook, and it lacks so many of the things i enjoy about my 1150.

since i have the opportunity here, i also want to incorporate some of those options that people DO want, but not force it on those who DON'T want them. think of the device as a modular system. if you want a graphical menu, you can get it, if you want wifi, plug it in. if you want support for an obscure ebook format, a 'patch' can be developed to make it work. if you don't want a hundred buttons to figure out, well, thats my main reason for doing this..

please keep the ideas coming. thats how magic is made.
