The PRS900 is my first eBook reader and I am very happy with it  I do have a Powerbook and a nano, and I don't really see the iPad replacing any of my existing devices.
I'd wait for a few more months to get some tablet-eReader convergence alternatives to be available, but IMHO, the first gen iPad doesn't make the grade. |
The Notion Ink Adam does look really interesting, and the concept of having different types of switchable display is certainly attractive. I'd like to hold one - the two photos showing backlight on and off are worrying. I had to sell my PRS-600 because *I* couldn't live with the reflection, and the "backlight off" photo looks like it has very similar issues given the very clear reflection of the photographer!
It is hard to capture what these devices feel like in the flesh on a photo, I'll be interested to get my hands on one. Although if I understand the release dates, I might well have an iPad by then. I guess there's going to be good eBay action this year as people jump on and off the different readers announced over the last few weeks!
