Thanks for the tips.

Sorry for taking so long to respond, I’ve got a bit of the flu again.

Now, with that said, here are the caveats: 1. It doesn't work well with PDFs. 2. The blog list (rss feeds) that can be read with it is seriously dated. 3. The physical interface could be better. (turn the page button is in an awkward spot) 4. It takes about half a second to 'turn the page'. 5. Gutenberg texts need to be formatted. But, for reading the Connect eBooks it's fantastic, and there's a good list of properly formatted eBooks at <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/librie/" rel="nofollow">Yahoo's Librie group</a>. If you like to read and you want books immediately, I recommend it.
