I know there are a lot of people out there who hate (to borrow a phrase from Alton Brown) "unitaskers", but I don't see the advantage of having an ebook reader that can browse the web.
I have a netbook running windows XP that can handle any web browsing I want. I played around with it for a short time as an ereader for books and comics. I also recently acquired an A81 tablet running Windows CE that I have been playing around with for light web surfing and trying as an ereader.
I still find myself doing all of my major reading on the JBL. The size, battery life, reflective screen, and ease of use makes it my overall favorite. I don't see myself getting an ebook reader that lets me surf the web, listen to MP3s, play videos, and take notes as I don't seem to jump back and forth between these different tasks too often.
