He forgets the basics: buy the device best suited for the intended purpose.
Multi-media tablets and Eink Readers are best suited for different purposes. Neither one can really replace the other. (I can display graphics on my Sony, I could read on a Tablet - but the Sony is better for reading and the Tablet would be better for graphics.) |

The multifunctional device that would siut me is certainly not right around the corner, but I find myself sitting in the sofa with both my ereader and my netbook (for looking up that place or thing or whatever) often enough to know that if I can get a device that doesn't weigh more than a current e-ink device, the battery can last at least a week, have online access everywhere, colour screen etc. and is fast and responsive - I would be there *very* fast. But I expect it will take many years until we get there.

I always used to say my dream device would be an oversized iPod Touch, but if I had such a device I would not use it as my music player anyway because it would not fit in my coat pocket while I am walking in snow, which I do often as a public transit user in Canada
![]() IF we ever got to the point of colour ebook readers with decent battery life AND widely available DRM-free magazine subscriptions of popular magazines (not just the sci-fi/mystery at Fictionwise) then I would reconsider my current setup. |

I'm all for color, but it'd be nice if they could figure out how to make a decent quality monochrome before they go to low-quality color.
Better screen quality and better responsiveness are my dream improvements...hopefully they're not sidestepped in favor of too much gimmickry. Seems like a tall order though, looking at current and proposed offerings. |
