I will be thoroughly using the ereader function and will let you all know how useful it is.
I guess readers of books like us will viote with their pockets in the end...but I do wonder how long it will be before Kindle Android hits the shelves for the best of both worlds. Was looking on a site the other day about a project model called the notionink Adam which has both android screen and an eink style page for book reading...looked pretty good so will keep an eye open for it. The site I saw it on was www.ebookvolumes.com but I just went to check and the story has now been changed
