Dear RobertB, I've stayed in line for 9" Plastic Logic, and was ready to pay $500-$600, but they went to a very heavy model, linked to Barnes and Noble. I do not need books from B&N, it is usually cheaper from Amazon and Half.com
but most important: I need ability to read many formats, like Astak does. This is why I have best (for today) Astak 5" reader and 12" Toshiba 2Lbs notebook ($2,500 with SSD) to see other formats in relative big screen. I will pay $500 for 9"-10" multi-format e-reader visible at direct sunlight if it is light enough.
