My current plan

I'm going to wait until the news shakes out of CES about release dates, prices, etc. on some of the new readers in the works (particularly Plastic Logic and the Skiff reader). If those don't have a breathtaking features-to-price ratio compared to the Sony 900, I'll go ahead and order one of those.

I know I said at one point that I would trial the Kindle DX, but have decided that I just don't think the screen size is worth the ugly (IMO, of course) and lack of touchscreen. I saw a great quote in a book on, of all things, raising goats. To paraphrase: "The appearance of a goat obviously has nothing to do with milking qualities or hardiness. But if you are going to be looking at something every day for a number of years, you may as well enjoy the view if it otherwise meets your needs."
