I'm on the HD-DVD bandwagon with my recently purchased Toshiba HD-A1 player, but I think this hybrid disc is really not in the best interest of the consumer, but in the best interest of the studios, who won't have to produce 3 packages for the same movie (DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray). In fact, lets do this hollywood: only sell one package, a hybrid disc that contains all 3 formats and costs the SAME PRICE as the regular DVD. And lets get both formats down to about $200 per player.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
