Does it support writing notes in the text?

While my gut reaction is to also say "WANT," I have to ask...is the refresh rate on this e-ink display better then my Kindle? Because a touch interface + Kindle refresh rate = frustration. Mainly with scrolling.

I'm mindful of that - I don't think refresh times will get much better but the idea is that with a large screen, you should be able to full-page stuff.

This is why I'm waiting for the Que and its partial screen refresh tech. Though this device does look sweet.

Agreed - I want this a lot ... it had better make it over to the UK!

Since it's apparently with Sprint first, it might take a while, alas. (Sprint = EVDO)

Considering how long it's taken the Kindle to reach our shores it might be a wait. It's weird - you'd think they might think us cultured and litarite Europeans would like read more proper often, like.

Still, I'm looking forward to being able to buy a high-res thin reader with a large screen.

it's the entry market costs which pushes all these things over to the USA. Unfortunately the European Union can't make it more easy, otherwise who knows...

lol .. it is funny though. You would think that based on perception alone that the UK / EU market would be given a higher priority based on the assumption that we read a lot more per person - must be choosing the US market first as there are more people? I think we would make up for our lack of numbers with a higher attachment rate for eBooks .. The perception that American's are less widely read must be either not true or not relevant?

Perhaps you missed the above article from last month. This is by the American media conglomerate for their purposes.

It's not a deal-killer for me, especially when PDF viewing will be the bulk of what I'Il be doing on a device like this.

NO color, NO deal - sorry. Regardless of whether the tech is there or not yet - that's my criterion.
