5 = $99

Of course going to their website it appears that the Tidal is a 6", non-touch with the keyboard and huge bezel, not the most attractive in my opinion, but for $50 meh]]>Jul 30th 2010 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/dmcs-5-inch-copia-color-e-reader-landing-pre-holidays-for-99/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/dmcs-5-inch-copia-color-e-reader-landing-pre-holidays-for-99/
And because I can't get it all in one post, I just measured the mass market paperback I am reading, and the page is 8" diagonal, with the text filling a 7" diagonal area. What does that mean?

It sucked on the ipad and will suck on this thing too.
