It’s great to see more than the Kindle, Nook and Sony readers being talked about.

The reason I hesitate to get a Kindle is due to the closed eco-system of the Kindle system, which makes Amazon the gatekeeper in that case. With all the new ebooks coming out, such as this Astak one, hopefully things will open up more.
By the way, it’s totally worth checking out ebooks if you haven’t seen one in person. The screens are extremely comfortable to read that is very different from most LCDs, but actually feel like paper in terms of reading.
With my comment about a closed-system for Amazon’s Kindle, an irony is that Amazon does have an awesome MP3 store that is DRM-free with a large selection and often good prices. Yet that is a completely open format, which is preferrable.
