Thanks JMA.
What are the new ones coming out soon? It's really hard to find anything online, at least the way I'm searching. Whenever I google anything, I just get old news articles without updates. Like, for the ASUS DRA and Samsung E60 I can find things saying they're here and a price for the Samsung, but no release date, and for instance the ASUS the most recent thing I could find was from the beginning of March saying it was being "unveiled"...and now nothing?
The colour screen, it's not really important to me. It'd be nice for sure, but I think any that have it would be way more expensive than I want. I only mention it because even though I read quite a few classics, I have very eclectic reading tastes and at the moment I'm reading a HUGE graphic novel, and I'm just fantasising about reading it without having to hold it.
The handwriting recognition on the other hand, I would love to have, but again it's really hard to look around and figure out which ones have it. And it has to stay in my price range - preferably under $250, but I could possibly go up to around $300 or so if it had just what I wanted. And more than that, if I buy one with it (presumably with an added expense), I hope it works well and I don't have to write like one word at a time really slowly, then wait for it to recognise it before the next word, and so on or whatever. I've never used an electronic device like that so I don't know how well it'd work.
