$400 and books cost $10? I can buy a used book from the amazon marketplace shipped for less, and when EVDO is phased out it’ll be a paperweight since it won’t sync with a computer. I think amazon still sells regular ebooks, right? Ones that can be used with a $400 eeepc that does a hell of a lot more and is still lightweight?

    I am looking for good e-book reader for almost three years. Look what happened for this period with notebooks - the technology so improved and prices went down! And what we see with e-book readers? I will only start considering buying e-reader when I will see something with A4 format, e-ink 300 dpi, ability to load my own content (including PDF), and price < $150. Otherwise it is really not worth buying existing products - easier and cheaper to buy real books or read texts from notebook (they are very cheap now).
