But I'll decide tomorrow. Hopefully someone will buy my stuff in the flea market and my decision will be much easier!
Your first sentence pretty much says it. What are the alternatives. The iRex iLiad is over $800 w/o wireless if one cares about that. The Plastic Logic Content Director said in May that they don't even plan to have a web browser in the first one, not even an email program for normal email -- just one to accept subscriptions etc. Their focus is No Interruptions. And you know it's going to be expensive. That's geared toward business. A bit larger than the DX.

See http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2009/0...eaders126.html

The Kindles seem to hold resale value pretty well. The K1 is still going for $275 or so because of that SD slot and a user-replaceable battery.
