I have been waiting for something like this, the Kindle from Amazon. They say it reads quite easily, as if it were ink on a page. I think after a few iterations it will be a must for me - apparently it isn't that easy to put your own stuff on it. But it does come with free internet access through the mobile phone network. This could potentially be a great technology for 'developing' countries (even better than the 100$ laptops, if you ask me) if they made it more adaptable to different content styles, made notation possible (or easier), and brought the cost down a bit, or course. But something like this - I can't imagine that it stays $399 for long. We'll see good e-readers for $50 soon, I'm hoping.
