Hell, there were some days I simply couldn't make it to class... If I'd had one of these instead of huge sack o' book et. al. I know that I would have been able to make it class on those days.

It's not set up to display color because they are using the e-ink technology which lessen strains on the eyes, increases battery life and makes the reading feel more like a book. For reading, definitely Kindle is great at what it does but if you want a bit of everything, try a netbook (bit bigger but does all of those) That would be awesome but it’s not possible (yet).

The margin cropping, the supressable auto-rotate landscape display--very cool. But it looks like you can't search, highlight or annotate pdfs. Which means for my purposes it just won't work, because I wanted it for reading academic journal articles. I need to be able to mark them up and search them for particular terms to get full use out of such a reader. Also--no folders. *Still.* Sigh. It’s *so* close to being right.

If this sort of device had been available ten years ago (gosh... that hurt), I would have been all over it. Nice post, I didn't realize any of the major textbook publishers were on board.
