Thanks anyway.
You can have one right now if you want to.
It'll hit you closer to $699 than $239, though.
All you need is a Win7 tablet PC (HP has a slate model coming; Archos and others are already out); add your choice of ebook reading software, Britannica or Wikipedia on CD, and assorted referencesetc.

I did it five years ago with my HP TC1000 tablet.
You don't get weeks worth of battery life or paperlike display but you can do it.
