The SONY Digital Paper DPT-S1 is A4 size with 1600 x 1200 resolution.
It's also around $800 and I don't know if it does anything other than
pdf's.


Nope - PDF only. Thanks for mentioning the Sony. You inspired me to
do a bit
of browsing - found a nice web site that lists supported formats for e
ink
ereaders (but not for color ereaders).

http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/
http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/ebook-reader-comparison.html
http://www.the-ebook-reader.com/large-ebook-readers.html

Lots of other info too - reviews, recommendations. . .


Thanks, Susan, I'll chase down the links and see if it helps me
sort out the "mess". I suspect SWMBO won't be happy with *any*
of these options ("Why can't I just have a BOOK??!")


Hey, that might be the best and least expensive solution. Order used
books online, delivered to your doorstep a few days later. .

for example:
http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&tn=snow+crash
Snow Crash by Stephenson, Neal - starting at $3.95 total

A lot of recent paperbacks in good condition cost about $3.00 total.
