On the flip side, I'm not too concerned about size, format (I pretty much only buy drm-free stuff and d/l it in pdf format, been reading on my laptop so far), advanced features, etc... just looking to be able to throw my meagre collection of fantasy eBooks at it so I can take them on the road with me. Price is the biggest issue, I just can't afford to drop too much on this.

Been looking at the Jetbook/Jetbook-lite and the ilk, and just wondering how visible they'd be on a bright summer day with no cover.
