Another way the technology will help you in the very near future. Don’t mind the fact that the software is slow or the fact that the screen takes 2 seconds to do a refresh. The important part is the hardware behind this gadget. I am sure that in less than 2 years time we will have an ebook reader which will have colors, very good refresh time (maybe even video capable) and if we are lucky will be subsidized by the content providers (the same thing that the communication companies are doing now with the phones).

This is impressive. eBook with Touch + hand drawn annotation! Even better than iRex.
I note the French accent. Is this a Bookeen development? I hope not.
My most used device apart from my development machine is my sony e-reader. To be honest refresh time is not really an issue at all.
The greatest thing about these devices apart from the amazing e-ink displays are the incredible battery life. That won’t happen with video however.
About time some new guys came on the block. It’s sown up by Sony, Amazon, Illiad, Bookeen + the other chinese devices made in the same factories. Now if only someone could combine the features of each at the cost of the Sony or cheaper with software that doesn’t take 2 minutes to paginate a book.
Add in 3g or wifi to download newspapers and this would be my dream device.
