Well, I love my JBL, but I've been looking at either the Kobo reader or the Sony 300 Pocket just to access ADE format books from various public libraries that use Overdrive. I'm not sure that Kobo will have full compatibility with Overdrive yet, but I know that the Sony does, and both have been at the almost acceptable $140-$150 price point for the past week.

If Ectaco added ADE/Overdrive capability to the JBL, I wouldn't even look at another reader.
