Thanks, Polly! This post helps a lot! I am planning to wait until February or March to purchase an ebook reader. It sounds like the EZ Reader has a lot going for it. I'd rather not spend the extra $50, even though the new ones would come with more features that I would find useful. However, if there's a chance that the current ereaders would come down a bit in price, I'd be willing to wait a little while longer for that.
