Wow, great feedback guys! Thanks! On a side note, wallcraft, is thie Sony Daily Edition reader Linux powered? Being that my site is a Linux site, one of our stipulations with any review is that it needs to be somehow connected with either Linux and/or open source software, so it would have to meet one of those two criteria for us to be able to review it.
Yes, the Daily Edition will be running Linux.

All eInk devices (to the best of my knowledge) currently use Linux. The forthcoming Plastic Logic device doesn't, but that's not out yet.

Yes, but it isn't out yet.

As you can see from the E-book Reader Matrix, most readers are Linux-based, although there are a few WinCE devices on the horizon.

The wrong Price will kill it for sure.

With Kindle and Sony lowering their MSRP for "Standard" (what do you call the various classes of readers?) models, will make a high priced version a hard sell.
Price and a wide variety of native formats handled were the main reason I got my PEZ.
Thanks for the info on the Tall Screen model
