	<htmltext>I think a few of your points are misunderstandings on your part.  At the very least, there's another way to look at them.<blockquote><div><p>- Battery - Common complaint, my books don't run out of battery</p></div></blockquote><p>
While e-books obviously <i>do</i> have battery limitations, they're not as much of an issue as one might think.  My Kindle easily lasts a week at a time with moderate (e.g., a few hours a day reading a book) use.  Obviously, YMMV, and things go downhill once you start doing a lot of Web surfing on the devices, but it's not at all like a PMP or an iPhone in terms of battery usage.</p><blockquote><div><p>- Space - I can fit a paperback in my pocket.</p></div></blockquote><p>
You can fit <i>dozens or hundreds</i> of paperbacks on a Kindle.  Okay, so it won't fit in your pocket, but it'll fit in a book bag, briefcase, or suitcase easily.</p><blockquote><div><p>- Obsolesence - in 15, or 50 years I can give my books to my daughter or grandkids, and they'll be able to read them all or sell them to someone else to read [hopefully not<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:) ]. There's a good chance that the ebook I buy today won't be readable in 5 years let alone 50.</p></div></blockquote><p>
I think this one depends a lot on the user.  Generally, anything not DRM'd can be converted to another format, so if you <i>really</i> want to stave off obsolescence, you can convert to TXT format (albeit with the loss of graphics that implies).  And once you've got your e-book in an open format, it's <i>much</i> easier to secure from damage than a paper book.  With a few clicks, you can have multiple copies across several server, so that even the complete destruction of one copy doesn't leave you without the content.
<br> <br>
DRM is a problem, and, although I'm not one of them, I acknowledge that there are some people who are in love with the physicality of books.  (I do think, however, that the physicality issue is just a matter of technological shift.  There were people, in ye olden days (say, 20 years ago) who loved to write letters and notes to their friends.  Now they text and write e-mails.  People are much more adaptive than we give them credit for sometimes.)</p></div>

There 's a good chance that the ebook I buy today wo n't be readable in 5 years let alone 50 .
I think this one depends a lot on the user .
Generally , anything not DRM 'd can be converted to another format , so if you really want to stave off obsolescence , you can convert to TXT format ( albeit with the loss of graphics that implies ) .
And once you 've got your e-book in an open format , it 's much easier to secure from damage than a paper book .
With a few clicks , you can have multiple copies across several server , so that even the complete destruction of one copy does n't leave you without the content .
DRM is a problem , and , although I 'm not one of them , I acknowledge that there are some people who are in love with the physicality of books .
( I do think , however , that the physicality issue is just a matter of technological shift .
There were people , in ye olden days ( say , 20 years ago ) who loved to write letters and notes to their friends .

<sentencetext>I think a few of your points are misunderstandings on your part.
At the very least, there's another way to look at them.- Battery - Common complaint, my books don't run out of battery
While e-books obviously do have battery limitations, they're not as much of an issue as one might think.
My Kindle easily lasts a week at a time with moderate (e.g., a few hours a day reading a book) use.
Obviously, YMMV, and things go downhill once you start doing a lot of Web surfing on the devices, but it's not at all like a PMP or an iPhone in terms of battery usage.- Space - I can fit a paperback in my pocket.
You can fit dozens or hundreds of paperbacks on a Kindle.

Electronics survive humidity and moderate water much better than books.  A paper book is ruined the first time it's in a backpack that gets rained on.  Even touching it with wet fingers will permanently damage it.  Electronics, on the other hand, almost always survive this level of wetness without damage.  And an SD card will usually survive going through the wash.

	<htmltext>This is interesting, but the fine print and real capabilities is what is going to define the machine, not whiz bang features like a redundant screen and probably extremely limited lending ability.
<p>
Here is what it will need to have.  A read aloud feature similar to kindle.  Even if it is limited, that will be a great help to a great many people.  A full web browser.  I assume that this will not be a big issue, but we are talking a real browser, with flash.  The browser allows us to read newspaper without subscription.  The ability to read PDF files downloaded from arbitrary sources.  This is a big deal to be as I download many of my reading materials as PDF, and the ambiguous support on Kindle is the big reason why I never bought it.
</p><p>
It would also be nice to able to mount external volumes through webdav of the like.  Again, I can't imagine that Android does not have a filesystem capable of doing this.
</p><p>
Which is to say i want a reader with a modern OS, so I can read from all the different sources I read on my laptop.  Less and I am just buying a fancy way to read paperbacks, and paying a markup for the privilege.  I think the nook does move us into a new realm of reading, but not neccesarily a bette one.  If I have to pay ATT to use the network, then the Kindle is still a better value.</p></htmltext>

	<htmltext>As a current Kindle 2 owner, the thing that matters the most (at least to me) is book selection.  An e-reader is only as useful as the books you can put on it.  B&amp;Ns claims of "over a million titles available" (thereby claiming they have more titles then the what's available for the Kindle) is spurious at best, as I believe (IIRC) it includes a lot of free public domain books, books that are freely available on the Kindle, just not necessarily from the Kindle store.  Sure, it's nice that they include more of those books in their own store, but that doesn't mean their EXCLUSIVE selection is any better.

For anybody looking to compare Nook from Kindle, look at which books are available in the respective stores first.</htmltext>

I carry it everywhere and since i bought it i really enjoy commuting, having to sit in waiting rooms, etc. The display is great, it has one of the best screen to overall size ratio, it has a reasonable battery life and with PFiction i can read in green over black with a very decent font.

TX is great with txt, docs, rtfs, but i reckon it sucks big time with PDFs.

But i heard that Palm is no longer manufacturing the TX, and honestly i dont see any succesor in the market should i ever lose or break my TX.

The samsung q1 was a step in the right direction, but was expensive. Maybe the Ipod Touch fills the screen size and price criteria, but does it have a reading software designed for the hardcore ebook reader like the Palm has??</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Yes, I read Cryptonomicon cover to cover (well, save for the fact that eBooks don't *have* covers) on my iPhone's Kindle app.

My paper copy of the book is 1100 pages and I couldn't get too far in because I never lug books around with me. Having it on a device that is already in my pocket - and can be read in the dark - is a huge plus for me. I'm considering a Kindle but I'm not yet sure I'd even carry that around. My eyes don't like the regular display a ton, but it certainly was fine for a couple of hours at a time, especially when I weigh the convenience of having access to a book at all times.</htmltext>

Can't do that with an ebook.

<br>
My Sony Reader PRS-505 (from 2 years) ago lasts 2-4 weeks on a single charge.<br>
<br>
<i>- Space - I can fit a paperback in my pocket.</i> <br>
<br>
The Sony Readers are really thin and come in 2 or 3 form factors now.  Plus with the e-reader, I can tuck multiple books into my laptop bag instead of maybe one.  They're also easier to read one-handed when I have a cat in my lap.<br>
<br>
<i>- DRM</i> <br>
<br>
Buy from vendors that don't use DRM.<br>
<br>
<i>- Physicality</i> <br>
<br>
Physical books suck, especially fiction/leisure reading. I'm too much of a packrat (I moved about 2500lbs of books in my last move). With e-books, I can cut down on that, yet still stimulate my mind with reading.<br>
<br>
<i>- Obsolesence</i> <br>
<br>
Once a book is in a widely understood digital format, I have no worries that I'll be able to read it in 25-50 years.  Someone will make a format converter.  However, to hedge my bets, when I buy books at Baen, I download it in multiple formats.<br>
<br>
The only big disadvantage of e-readers is price.  I was happy when the readers first dropped below $300.  I also took full advantage of Project Gutenberg and Baen's website to get inexpensive or free books.  But if you find the reader cost + book cost to be too expensive... then you're not (yet) the target market.</htmltext>

<sentencetext>The non-wired Sony ereaders are superior.
The battery life is measured in weeks, not hours or days as with these wired devices.

	<htmltext>Ok, some facts.
The technology behind this is from Plastic Logic.
Plastic Logic got all out there and the drooling when it presented its first reader (which was not available for the public) more than 1 year ago. I have waited ever since to buy an ebook reader, knowing full well what I wanted: large screen, possibility to add my own pdf, e-ink.
Essentially I think this product is a really bad. The screen is too small. It will fit novels, but if you aim to use it to read real A4 pdf you are in no luck.

But Plastic Logic has now explained that it will come up with a new product:
Que ( <a href="http://www.quereader.com/" title="quereader.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.quereader.com/</a> [quereader.com] )
for the business market. The press release says:
"Extra thin, lightweight and wireless-enabled, QUE is the size of an 8.5 x 11 inch pad of
paper, less than a 1/3 inch thick, and weighs less than many periodicals. The innovative
QUE proReader features the largest touchscreen in the industry, an intuitive touch
screen user interface, and provides access to a file cabinet&rsquo;s worth of documents, plus
your favorite&mdash;and most necessary&mdash;publications. "

This is much more similar to the product they presented two years ago. This is what I will buy, not this silly nook-toy.

I have waited 2 years, I can wait an extra month.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Have you ever tried to read an entire book on an iPhone?  I get serious eyestrain after about 30 minutes, I can't imagine sitting there with that light shining directly into my eyes for hours at a time.  The real strength of e-book readers is not the whizbang features, all of which are easily duplicated in any given smartphone, but rather in the screen itself, which is conducive to reading for extended periods of time with, in theory, no more eyestrain than a regular book.
<br> <br>
Having said that, I'm still not ready to jump on the e-book bandwagon.  The price is still a tad high, and there's too much uncertainty with the distribution models out there, like Amazon's deal with being able to arbitrarily revoke access to your own books and whatnot.  Once they can give me a standard open e-book format that allows me to download books from anywhere, for pay or not, and keep them forever, and once they sell the readers at sub-$200 prices, I'll probably take the plunge.</htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>I can read PDF just fine - the conversion process can be done in multiple ways and costs me a few pennies down to nothing for the Kindle. So that's no biggie. The MP3 player? I have that on my multiple year old Kindle too - I have YET to EVER use it so that's no biggie. The expandable memory? I have that on mine too but it's SD and they killed it on the new version - stupid of them IMO.

<tokenext>I can read PDF just fine - the conversion process can be done in multiple ways and costs me a few pennies down to nothing for the Kindle .
So that 's no biggie .
The MP3 player ?
I have that on my multiple year old Kindle too - I have YET to EVER use it so that 's no biggie .
The expandable memory ?
I have that on mine too but it 's SD and they killed it on the new version - stupid of them IMO .
