Also, I saw a few interesting posts here (especially in the german part of MR).

I am really looking forward to it. I will order it soon. Right now it is sold out and should be back in store in early June, by then I also should have the money together.

hmm
interesting review

Thanks for the link. I don't know what to think about this review.

I have seen a few different reviews about the PB Touch (622) so far and this is the only one who talks negative about it. Besides, it is a little bit short.

Anyway, I just talked to the wife. She gave me 2 options: either I buy it myself (once I have enough money - that would be early to mid June) or I get it as a birthday present from the whole family (but my B-Day is July the 8th). And we go on holiday late in June, so I could surely use it by then. Luckily I still can use my old e-reader.

However, I guess you people also know the problem: if you want a new toy, you want it right NOW ... not in 6 weeks ....

Thanks for your suggestion, but "no thanks". It has to be an e-ink display.

Also, I am no fan of tablet computers. I prefer a normal sized computer.
