It's pretty much obsolete. Probably 99% of ebook reading is done on
iPads and Android tablets. In the real world where people buy their
eBooks, the iPad and Android tablet offer the ability to buy books
from several sources, while the dedicated readers don't.
Thanks for your answer. When I posted a link to a matrix of all the
current eink-based readers, I assumed it is obvious I want an e-ink
based one. I'd think dedicated reader would be more energy/weight/price
efficient than a general purpose tablet, but anything with e-ink will
do! Also, as I had stated, I'm not interested in buying DRM books anyway...

BTW, that was only the original iPad, and it was blocked in an attempt
to satisfy the cellular companies and iDigital that people would not
smuggle them in and avoid paying their markup and VAT.
In the end it turned out that they only used 2.4gHz WiFi and passed CE
certification, which was enough to make them legal here.
Ah, I see! Thanks a lot, I haven't followed the development since the
original debate began.
