One thing to remember is that this is still very much early adopter technology, and changing rapidly.

By this time next year I'd expect to see readers similar to the current crop of 6" readers, but with robust plastic substrate displays instead of the current (relatively) fragile glass displays.

I'd also expect to see the price a lot lower.

So it might be that your best option at present would be to wait, and make do for now with an old high-res palm os device (like a sony clie). Not as nice a display as eInk, but a lot cheaper while you wait for better/cheaper devices to arrive

On the other hand, I'd extremely pleased with my CyBook Gen 3.

Again, thanks for all your help.
