Are there any eInk devices that delete ebooks from the reader

Haven't purchased any ebooks from B&N, still have more that 200.00 in micro pay at fictionwise. Unless B&N sells for less than fictionwise I see no reason to change over to them. Since they own fictionwise, they aren't really loosing much.

I am used to removing the ebooks manually on the newer readers, older types allow me to delete as I read. The rocket/rb1100/palms/jetbook lite all allow deletion and the one thing they all have in common is that none of them are eInk. I think there may be some pattern there. hmmm

I wonder if there are any eInk readers that actually delete from the reader. Ereader software on my palms allow this, so does mobipocket software.

I seem to be the most experienced computer user here(started on mainframes in 1978), and yet I seem to be one of the few who just wants a reader, to read on. Most specifically to read books I purchase. I have never seen a library in my area that would know an ebook if it danced naked in front of them. I am sure that my local library would never carry ebooks of the types I read, the head librarian is death on scifi.
