This has to be one of the stupidest devices ever from the FAQ:
Can I still log in to my PayPal account if I lose or break my token, or if I don't have my mobile phone with me?
Yes. During login, we'll ask you questions to help confirm your identity. When you answer them correctly, you'll be able to log in.
Isn't the whole point of this device that you have to have it to log in? What extra security does asking some questions to confirm my identity do if I have a virus logging everything I type?

The reason Chrome has hit such high browser share is probably because of their automated testing efforts. From the comic at http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/
Google Chrome is a massive, complicated product that will need to load billions of different web pages, so TESTING is critical. Fortunately, here at Google we have an equally massive infrastructure for crawling web pages. within 20-30 minutes of each new browser build, we can test it on tens of thousands of different web pages. Each week, "Chrome bot" tests millions of pages, giving our developers early results they'd otherwise have to wait until external beta for."
They probably are not using a unique user-agent string when testing which results in this seemingly high adoption rate.

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/nook/compare/ says it supports epub, eReader, and PDF. epub is an open standard according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats#International_Digital and you can convert docs in lots of other formate to epub.
Seems you'll be able to read any document on this device. Very nice.
