Why has nobody yet released a bog-standard e-book reader?
I don't need an mp3 player draining the battery, I don't want 3G connectivity; there's never gonna be a situation where I need to get hold of a new book while up a mountain. I don't want a keyboard, or a touch screen. Just so long as I can select a book, bookmark a page, and have it resume where I left off, I'm good.
If somebody can get one of these out that plays nice with the usual formats, and costs sub £100 they will spread like wildfire.
People are going crazy over the iPad (god, what a stupid name!), but reading off a backlit LCD isn't a comfortable experience.
