Is the screen backlit for reading in bed late at night? Don't have to annoy my better half with the light on anymore. Potential is there for a cool gadget! Wireless?? Mac & PC connectivity? I think a larger percentage of Mac users actually read books (just kidding).

jim, eink is much nicer than a backlit LCD. it'll look MUCH better under your bedside lamp than backlit LCD. From wikipedia: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_ink )

"electronic ink, is a display technology designed to mimic the appearance of regular ink on paper. Unlike a conventional flat panel display, which uses a backlight to illuminate its pixels"
