If you ever see me knocking a product in the comments - watch out. It means in about 30 days I'll be getting one... I plan on having a cross section of people try it too -- just to see how it would translate to use by geeks and non-geeks alike. I’m really curious to try this out.

E-ink is apparently not too backlight friendly. Maybe in the next kindle version they could include a booklight built in, that was angled to illuminate the screen from the top, or all around the edges...
