I've already bought my hardcover copy. And I hope JKR has all sorts of fun with the cash I plunked down for it - she's earned every penny, in my opinion. But I have to have the e-book on my Palm for several reasons. I've developed this habit of reading as I walk to work in the morning - maybe not the smartest thing to do through mid-town Manhattan traffic.... This morning, I was drilling through Chapter 10 as I crossed 5th Ave, and my arms were aching! 900 pages! Also, I don't have a book light, and my wife will not appreciate or understand my keeping the light on until 3 in the morning for the next week or so. My Palm's backlight ensures only I will be nodding of at work the next morning :)

That's exactly why I would rather read on a Rocket. The backlight has a dimmer that can be set at 20, 40, 60, 80 or 100%. 100% looks like the black on white page of a book and doubles as a flashlight. (well.....almost) The default setting is 60% which looks like a pocket pc, and the 20% is black on gray. Not only is the 20% perfect for reading in bed without disturbing my husband, there is also a setting for silent page-turning. I didn't discover that one until I'd had it for about a week. He claimed he could hear that teeny tiny "click" when I turned the page. Now he can't think of anything to complain about and I can read until I doze off. (Try to do that in bed with no lamp and a book the size of War and Peace.)
