I'm going to get a GP2x Wiz for portable OLED goodness, the screen is small at 2.8" but the device is easily pocketable and sdhc cards promise a lot of storage space.

With that and the Q7 I should be set for awhile.

I'm not here to "fight for a technology I love" or to present my self as an "e-ink evangelic" either.

In my previous post I shared information (fact) about eye strain with LCD and why I consider (opinion) to be a serious observation for everyone to know. Don't get me wrong: I am not promoting one technology while putting down the other (and I don't gain anything); I'm perfectly fine with both if used accordingly. My intention is (once again) to express the factual information that e-ink technology came about because it does not have the potential risk that LCD presents when used for -purposes.

Whether you have 20/20 vision after working for centuries with computers or whatnot is not the object of my discussion. I insist, be careful with your eyes people (and this ain't a "government-ish tactic" to scare anyone, OK?).

Does anyone know what version of FBReader it has? From the FBReader website, version 0.5.0 is supposed to support non-DRM MobiPocket files.

If I can read my Mobi books on this I might be tempted to drop the hammer on one!

Upon further consideration (and in spite of my gadget lust), I think I'm skipping the Smart Q7 in lieu of the Asus EEE PC T91. I've got a sizable manga collection and even cut down to my favorites, I'm still looking at ~50GB or so of data and that equates to a bit of money in terms of flash memory.

While, I'd really love to play with one, my practical side (didn't know I had one) tells me it would be insufficient for the things I would want to do.

It reads Mobi ebooks as long as you remove the drm I'm on the same boat as you.

Why do you whant OLED? The OLED display on my Nokia N85 gives good colors and it might save a bit on the battery but it does not work at all in sun light.

I just ordered one this morning. E-ink is okay with me, but I am not a fan. My Jetbook would be perfefct had TPTB included backlighting. I think the price of the Q7 is reasonable. I too would like the have the Asus T91. when is that even hitting the streets? Well, it's been awhile since I have given into my tech lust, so I don't feel too bad.

Is this really correct (do you have a reference)? I always thought that the motivation was to get better battery time and get a more paper like experience with much better resolution and contrast and working in sun light.

The Wiz reference was in reply to this. I haven't used an OLED device, but I'm very interested in new screen tech, so that's reason enough to get one.

The site came up okay for me. You have to order by email (I think).
