Sony Reader Now Available
Yaksha42 writes "The Sony Reader, which debuted at CES in January, is now available for purchase on the Sony website. The six inch screen uses E Ink, rather than an LCD, to display the text, reducing strain on the eye while reading. While you can buy books on Sony's Connect site, you can also load eBooks and other text onto the Reader in a variety of formats, including PDF and TXT files. It also comes with the ability to receive newsfeeds, display JPG images, and can play unsecured MP3 and AAC music files. Additional information can also be found on the Learning Center site."
Yeah... They even have downloadable rootkits.
are you sure? That sounds very quaint to me, but merely habitual, like saying people would never switch to computers because they like the weight and motion of a typewriter.

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these.....

Ultimate digital reading experience? I thought that was braille.
I was really starting to get worried that my printed works would never benefit from the powers of DRM. I'm so glad we have Sony to protect us all.
Cleary you dont use your dictionary enough or you wouldn't have said 'obtuse' where you really meant 'abstruse'!

$350? for a little plastic box to read text?
Wow, that sets MY world on fire.
The more I see attempts to create an E-book, the more I appreciate paper.
