Make sense?

I guess still not really.
In an airport I use my cell phone to browse the internet and check/answer email. Its screen is smaller than the eDGe, but serves my purpose. And it has a real, albeit tiny, keyboard so I can type my mail in without the hassle of a virtual keyboard. I seriously hate them. They're one of the reasons I returned the iPhone after 3 days.
My cell phone combined with my PRS-600 are both smaller and cheaper than the eDGe. My reader I think is far superior to the eDGe in comfort since it's smaller and lighter. I'll give the edge (
) to the eDGe over my cell phone, since it has a larger screen, but I still don't see that it's really such a huge improvement. And my cell phone has the real keyboard and also runs Android.
But again, still JMO. For you it may be the most perfect device ever. I'm still living in the "What's the point?" corner of this debate.
Hope everyone is having a great holiday!
