I completely agree. All I want is my ebookwise with exactly the same software and functions, but with an e-ink screen.

thanks very much for the info in any case ; i'm really hoping they will come up with my dream e-ink device soon... i'm trying to resist the temptation of the Astaks and the Gen3 but it's not always easy !! |
