Maybe to experimental before the version from sid goes to testing? Since I don't have any Debian package maintaining experience please excuse my rumblings if they're superfluous... Dear Miry,

Could you please post a little bit more about your experience with the Sony E-reader? I thought about to buy one but i have few doubts like: * How does it work with linux? * Is there any good nice website to buy ebooks (and use linux to load them on the device)? * How is working the conversion from PDF or other very popular formats for ebooks on the net? Thanks, and enjoy the reading! Hi Miriam!

In Spain, for what I've seen, the prices are below € 300 . Hi!! :)
