- it handles several formats, PDF included - as for a black and white screen vs. an iPod touch; I can't read the web on a touch ( I have one, great mp3 / video player, but sucks for browsing.
If I had a high quality screen that is easy on the eyes, I'd happily give back 2+ hours of screen time on my laptop in trade for this device.
I have a LOT of PDFs and ebooks I get off the net; I can finally put them on a device I can read easily (I hope, I haven't seen the screen on a live kindle). That alone is worth the price to me.
And I can load up all my own documents for free.
it's not an ipod, which is a different usage model...
