i don't really mind the paucity of formats, because i primarily read PDFs (and convert everything else to PDF) since my only reader so far is an OLPC XO. but i'd love to have a smaller, lighter device, as long as it's not too expensive and has decent resolution and screen size.
i think i'm going to write to dell and ask for further information. i couldn't find the device on aluratek's website at all, so it does indeed seem a dell exclusive.

I don't think I said that it ran Windows.
