Four?! [ envy ] Every time I touch mine, there's a subtle horror that I'll drop it or break the screen and find myself bereft.

I did drop and break my first one. Fortunately early enough that I was able to get it repaired. So I bought a spare.

And then I got others when I saw them for a reasonable price on ebay.

One is held together with tape -- the screws stripped, but it works fine, and even have some spare parts, just in case.

I couldn't find this when I was searching for it a week ago, but it dropped in my lap this morning - check out http://www.ebookwise.com/ - IIRC, this is a Rocket descendant.

Yeah, I think you are right. I remember hearing the screen isn't quite as good but that it's lighter and easier to hold. I lost a bid on a rocket on ebay -- it went for $102 -- so they are still out there and circulating.

Thanks!
