Hmm hadnt considered / didnt know that would be a issue. ( again not owning one is why i come here for good advice )

How much lower would that res be compared to the sony / cybook ? would it matter much for straight text? ( ie does the higher res on the other devices only come into play when you want to display graphics / book covers etc? )

I may just hold off and wait a month or two ... it seems that several potentiallly good devices are coming out in the near future.

I dont have enougho extra funds to get one reader now and turn around and get another later on.

This would be a major invest ment that id be keeping for years to come.

Thank you
