ETI (this one's for you, Zelda)

I spoke to Garth Conboy briefly, and got a couple pictures of his reader. It's a standard PVI/Netronix 6" reader. It looks like the NUUT Starebook, Cybook, and so on and so forth. But it was running ETI's software, and I admit, that was cool. Just to be clear, this isn't a model they are going to sell. It was one of the ones they bought as a development tool.

In his talk he said that ETI was working toward an Eink device as well as epub to imp conversion. He went on to demo ETI's reader software running on his Macbook in a VM. He quickly showed us the reader at a resolution of 1600 by 1200, and at Iphone resolution.

Since they can move the reader to other devices, what would you like to see running their reader?
