I'm not seeing how this could replace my reader. I use EInk displays because I sit in front of a computer for 12+ hours a day. My blue eyes just can't handle it, I get terrible headaches. I have no need for an LCD 'tablet', which is nothing more than a majorly crippled netbook. No multi-tasking? No flash?

If Sony released this, it would sell terribly. But since Apple did, everyone will eat it up. The specs are beyond horrible. It's nothing more than an iTouch.

If it ran Snow Leopard (and though some EFI fun allowed us to run Linux), I would give it a thought. As it sits? I'll pass. The new tablet HP released is much more useable.
