Also, the battery life on these things is greatly extended when using the e-Ink side only. It says 16+ hours when using the e-Ink side only. Using the LCD side gives only about 6 hours, which is more like a netbook. I prefer a dedicated ebook reader for $200-300, and use the rest of the money for books!
