Thanks for answering! But I have to disagree. Like I say my main use is work related documents. As long as the reader works I don't care if the company doesn't. Not to mention that I will never run anything else than reading applications and mostly pure text websurfing if possible, so those fancy app stores means absolutely nothing. I've got a 14" laptop computer and a computer in my home office with a 24" monitor for other websurfing, I would only like to be able to read the mobile versions of some web newspapers. And as long as it can do PDF with DRM (which I believe they both can), I can get books for it. Worst case scenario: I buy the books in another format and download them in a format I can read. Technically that may be illegal in some countries, but I believe it's perfectly legal here in Norway.

As for the Entourage eDGe that's not even in the running here. That's a plaything for leisure, not even trying to be an e-Reader for pro use... Too small screen, too much other multimedia bull, too thick.

Edit: Sorry, I have to revise that. The eDGe doesn't have a much smaller screen than the Que (9.7 inches versus 10.5 for the Que), and since large size reader screen is the main thing for me I may consider the eDGe anyway even if it uses Android (an OS I tried on a HTC phone and couldn't get rid of fast enough...). I have to read up on that. Thanks for the tip!

But I guess I'll just have to wait until Skiff releases any info at all. Or if they haven't by mid April I'll just buy the Que since I won't wait any longer in case the Skiff is just vaporware. I've got "Duke Nukem Forever" for that...

Btw I didn't know there were any answers to the thread that's why I haven't been back before this. I now discovered that the default action is "Weekly E-mail", not instant. That's fixed now.
