Hey Crossies,
anyone of you got an E-Book Reader?
I bought myself the Sony Reader five weeks ago and I'm amazed.
What do you guys think of those readers like the Kindle (we got one of those, too)?
Imo it's pretty nice, the pages look like real books and you can read without getting a headache.
Their aren't as heavy as a book and you can carry them around quite easily, at least way better than an iPad.
Also, you can get leech your books or buy them while being on tour.

Asians?
AW YEAH
The Sony Reader costs 149€ but has a touchscreen and internetbrowser while the Amazon Kindle got keys only (in the 99€ edition) or a keyboard (in the 139 and 199 edition).
The books are only 2-3€ cheaper than real books.
it supports epub, pdf and maybe even some other files.
Ive got one myself and it doesn't have a single legal book, yet Ive got about 500 books on it
also:
"and you can read without getting a headache."
errr...?
these nerds..
g5
also it runs out of juice and u dont want to take it to e.g. a beach.
renders the things useless for me.
also a digital book collection doesnt look as good as a real one, go get laid by intellectual women.
And it (at least the model I've got) sux hard when you need to read big pdfs or stuff with nonstandard characters, math formulas etc. (I try to learn a bit of japanese and chinese, you can put those fonts in epubs or pdfs but especially in the 1st case it's a pain in the ...).
Big pdfs? You have to scroll to see them wtf...
Works well only with real text, and (only) for that it's cool
