You can get around the RTF limits by saving and reading as a .doc file, but I want to stay as non-propriatary as possible...
The "killer" for me is that, unfortunately, the BeBook still doesn't do dictionary lookup. I use that such a lot that I'd really miss having it. I know that you can do a search in a dictionary, but it's nearly as convenient as being able to lookup a word directly from the book you're reading.

If the BeBook gained this one feature, for me that would put it "top of the heap", no doubt about it.
