Oh, but they may just decide to delete one of your books off of your device.

not if you never turn on your wireless and/or are in Japan with a non-international version.
it's cheaper to transfer via USB, too.

I'd rather not have to voluntarily get rid of one of the most attractive features of the device I buy just to be in control of my device.
But hey, I want an n900, so you know I'm crazy about having completely unfettered root access on all of my devices. :)
Kuroshima:
N900 is ideal :)
yeah I have an iPhone so I probably won't be upgrading soon...
Reads txt, HTML, pretty much everything perfectly fine... Also there's like this new online digital library thing this company is developing.... Can't quite remember the name....
In a side note.... An iPhone is an iPod so.....:)

Iphones not brilliant for reading manga the screen is a little too small, for books however theres plenty of apps that allow you to add your own files or buy them from an online store. I'd still love a proper ebook reader like a kindle, but I can't justify it unfortunately :(

Ah yes, well, what would be brilliant would be an ebook reader that runs actual linux (like the n900) rather than just Android (like the nook). Then you get hackability and readability.
zherok:
Wouldn't you just be competing with netbooks and tablet PCs at that point? Cost-wise, these readers are already pretty close. Start adding functionality and draining more power, and you're basically making a netbook.
