If you can tolerate LCD you can have it right now. (Sort of.) Otherwise... Very unlikely. |

I use my Surface Pro 4. I have Calibre on it and use the Calibre Reader. It works great for me. I used to read a lot of Hard Cover Books and neither the size nor weight bother me.

I went to a local B&N store here in Austin to buy a computer book for work. It was full price in the store at $44.95, but they are selling it online for $32.47, which qualified for free shipping.
I wanted the book immediately, so I opted for the full price. It does seem like the consumer really pays for the mega stores and the immediate gratification of having a paper book in hand. I normally would opt for an ebook, but I find they don't translate well to Kindle or Kobo due to the scripting examples often resorting to pictures which are hard to view. |

Unless you're saying you want Calibre aspects such as conversion and book editing, etc as well. That would take a pretty powerful device. |

Circuit City at least got that right: they actually met their 20 minute promise for online orders. Usually with time to spare. I lived 10minutes away and they had the stuff on the shelf by the time I walked into the store. And this was after the layoffs. |

After the repair she went back to Circuit Shitty and demanded her diagnosis fee back. Had to go as high as the store manager to get it, but did get it. |
