frabjous,
Thanks for the links, I'll try the mathmatica fonts. Being in Corporate America I'm not free to use whatever word processor I like, however at home I use OpenOffice. I think if I can install a font that has most of the mathmatical symbols that it would be a reasonable compromise.

Yo, been reading the 700 now a bit, its not too bad. If you can get into what you are reading, its fine. The reflections are bad, but you can position it out of the way.

However, I have been travelling on business, and saw someone with the new kindle 2. I eves-dropped over their shoulder for a few minutes, and I gotta say, I was definitely jealous of the screen, it looked way better.
