Same. I'm waiting with baited breath. I feel like I'm the target market for this: I love my e-reader, I love open source stuff, and I hate the options on the market. Sadly, my experience is that these things can't compete on the economy of scale, and are often at least 50% more expensive than the alternative. I want to vote with my dollars, but I'm not rich, and used e-readers are always on eBay & Craigslist for $40.

We'll see, though.
