" /// For me this is NOT the issue, but rather the same "dedicated equipment" issue people have been talking about since "WANG Word Processors" at an average price that was above the average family income of the time. I never did understand the advantage of those over Apple ]['s, etc.... The Merganthaler users didn't understand either, both went under.... So, for me, it's the question of carrying: A. An ereader B. A phone/MP3/browser/emailer/texter/GPS C. A pretty much full function computer [w or w/o optical drive] For me the first choice is the last choice, it doesn't do enough. Period. I keep playing with them at the stores, never get hooked. I liked the read out loud part, and still wonder of the legal wars that somehow killed that one so fast it was stillborn. As for cellphones, I think they are amazing, and really getting to the point where they are just about full tilt computers. I prefer movies on a larger screen, but 10" is more than enough, so that is what I bought myself for the holidays, $250, and PG didn't have to foot the bill. I don't carry the DVD/CD drive unless it's a plan. As for Jim's ideas about web pages for various devices, I'm happy to say we have already heard from at least one volunteer to help. mh
