That whole size thing was intriguing to work through. Finding out that I could comfortably read regular text on something an small as an iTouch was a real eye opener. So that does me for an 'in line' one ( mostly waiting to pick up my son from school). Oops
I guess I lied about not reading standing up...
Your PocketBook sounds like a great fit for you. I looked into them a little but couldn't find a local supplier in my neck of the woods.

I wanted to be able to check out ebooks from the library.

I'm jealous. Our local library hasn't caught up with e-books, and I haven't yet tracked down one further afield that I can use.

I will likely be in the market for a larger "home-based" ereader to read magazines, newspapers, comics, etc but I plan on waiting for the technology to evolve. Right now my laptop computer serves that purpose better than any ereader could.

The next couple of years should be well worth watching. I'm more or less covered for now, but I can't honestly say that I won't be coveting some of the new offerings. It will be especially interesting to see where e-ink can go once they get colour happening, and I'm sure that tablets will get lighter and do a better job with screen reflectivity too. Interesting times ahead.
