The price of the reader is the equivalent of around 100 novels. Add to that the fact that you have to buy the rights to the said e-novels at about 70% of their paper price. You'd have to read a lot to make it worthwhile ! Then again the sketching part of It's functions makes It appealing. I'd pay $500.00. Oh! and don't forget shipping from Europe and all the lovely taxes...$1200.00 ? no way !!!

Forget the Nano, I want the car. I've seen the same one on EVWorld magazine, as a preproduction electric scheduled for 2007.

Yet the biggest step towards a full flash computer !

They are eluding the facts again. A cheap computer is flash based, rugged plastic built (little tykes style ) solar or hand cranked powered, and easily repairable on site. The way this one's done they are only recycling their overstock of dated parts.
This is a familiar way of doing business here.

Just one of the steps to a full flash based computer.

Finally !
I want one.
When I saw the fist Mac in 84, to me It was a big Ebook reader and I always dreamed that in the future i'd find a portable version. I do most of my reading lying down or in an other non suitable place for a computer.
And I know some computer illiterate people who might make the plunge for ebook reader,audio players and digital cameras, but because they are all computer dependant they won't.
There should be a way to get content without the use of a computer. Maybe It could be sold at the corner book or record store on cheap flash cards?

My son has the present Ipod video. I have a Sanyo Xacti video camera that records on SD cards. Even though both are meant to work with Mpeg4 they are not compatible, and conversions take forever. Apple should design software that would make transfers easier or make an Ipod that works with every video standard. Personally I'd rather have a bigger screen about the size of Sony's Prs-500 ebook reader.
