Good, Better, Best Ebook Reader? Not Kindle or iPad.

Saw this blog post http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2012/05/22/new-icarus-excel-9-7-e-ink-ebook-reader-with-wacom-touchscreen/ about new ICARUS eXceL Ebook Reader, Icarus website http://www.icarusreader.com/excel.

It is going on my wish list, I like my Kindle, but want larger screen, and easier page turns, plus the stylus for notes, highlighting, etc.

Edited to add this about Memory:
  • 4GB internal memory (flash)
  • Memory can be expanded up to 32Gb via optional SD cards

For those not familiar with SD cards see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital since they say 32 GB pretty sure they mean SDXC even though they said SD.

Most newer electronics use SDXC, same physical size card, just higher memory capacity than older
SD style.
