I probably will if Mobipocket and eReader come aboard with software for it.

I was close to buying a Sony Reader for $350, but have so much money tied up in eReader and Mobipocket books that I don't want to start over with yet another DRMed book format. I'm also not a fan of the Sony Reader. That flicker on every page turn drove me nuts.

My first eBook reader was the IBM Z50. That was a device pretty much identical to what the Foleo will be. It was a laptop replacement and I loved that it was instant on, that it ran very cool and that it had a nice big screen to read books on. I've gotten used to reading on smaller PDAs over the years, but will definitely buy a Foleo for $500 if I can use it to read all of my ebooks. I would love to replace my LifeDrive with anything at this point.
