A friend of mine got a Sony Reader as a present last year, and I've tinkered with it enough and been impressed with eInk enough that I've decided to get one. What I'm not impressed with is Sony's interface. So I'm looking around, but I can't quite tell what's actually out now. There seems to be a lot of "any day now" stuff, but as far as I can tell there's only the Sony, the iRex, the NUUT, and one of the HanLin's? Are there others?

The Bookeen looks nice and I'm on the mailing list but I'd really rather not wait 3-4 months for something that may never make it to market(I'm a skeptic).

I've looked into the NUUT, and am considering it, but I'm hoping someone else will get one first and let us know how well it works and how being an English only speaker will be using it.

So the short version, I'm looking at what my choices are if I were to order something tomorrow.

Thanks!
