I'm STILL extremely pleased with the $400 purchase. I will admit that when the price for the iPad ($499) was initially released I had second thoughts. I then focused on why I chose the 900 (non-PDF ebooks, features, and portability) and not just make a dollars and cents comparison to the iPad. The dimensions of the screen are odd, but for some reason it works for non-PDFs. People liken it to a paperback book. I plan on buying an iPad at the end of the year (for PDFs) if nothing else is on the market. I won't be getting rid of the 900.

So if I would buy a new reader, I would certainly want it to be more than 6", but I would prefer the traditional ratio (unless I can get the point why the 900s ratio is so much better).
