I like the iRex, but dislike that it has no wifi. I like the iPad, and will definitely buy one, but I want something e-Ink in addition. I like the Entourage Edge's feature set, but it seems like it would be a bit heavy for long format reading. Also, I'm not sure if it would thoroughly be obsoleted by the iPad, because I don't know how much I'll enjoy reading on the iPad. The alex is great, but the reading screen is a bit small for technical books. However, I wouldn't want the screen to be any bigger, because then it would get heavy!
With all four, I could do everything! Hah.

I so know the feeling! I sort of want a nook, or an Alex, even though I said I wouldn't buy another device that didn't read all formats. But, at the same time, I want something with a tablet form factor and a touchscreen. Chris says one of the new tablet netbooks would be ideal for him, because he wants a physical keyboard. I like that idea too, because of the full operating system on it which means it
will read all formats. I'd actually love both - one to carry, one to read on at home. But I'm afraid that's out of the question, unless I win the lottery or something.
