Right, including the possibility of "hosting my own." I got an inexpensive sheet fed scanner (Fujitsu ScanSnap) years ago to convert my personal bits-of-paper to pdf. Then I got a relatively inexpensive mail processing service (EarthClass Mail) to turn my small remaining physical mail correspondence to pdf (and give me a stable US address that forwards my mail to me electronically). So books were the last bastion of paper in my life, and now I've pretty much given them up. If it's not available as an ebook, or in the nearest library, I don't read it. >> Android G1 with extra capacity battery. I like the fact that it has a >> real keyboard. > > Third party battery?

I don't know of anything that will keep the nexus S running that long except an external USB power source, which is east to arrange ias long as small and light isn't a primary requirement. -- Charles
