Dean: I just finished listening to the report on the EReaders. It is a very in depth bit of comparison shopping research (for lack of a better way to say it). But after listening to the report, I am still at a loss as to which is the most blind-user friendly unit out there. Do you think you could clear this up for me? I know that it will, mainly, depend on personal preference. Thanks.
