Yep, simply going to have to wait for the future for a device that melds the mibook and the kindle. I would buy neither at this point for the very specific cons mentioned above (for both).- report abuse

Yup. I'm been wanting to purchase an e-Book reader for years, but none of the ones on the market - and none of the ones in development - meet my minimum requirements. I think that I'm going to be waiting for a while yet:(.- report abuse
