Chi Chi,
Have you gotten one yet?
I saw someone using one like the day after it came out . . . was at next table at restaurant, and it didn't look as KLUNKY in real life as the photos make it look. I didn't ask the guy if I could see the screen or anything like that, so not sure if what I heard about the font size not being controlable is true or not.
Haven't really heard much about it since the release actually. Haven't seen one since. I was looking on the Sony site a while back and noticed that they too have a reader. . .
it is sort of like the HD-DVD vs. Blue Ray (or the beta vs VHS) . . . in that without one industry standard . . . I don't know what to decide --- and I do like my books.
Years ago I bought this external high-density disk drive that came out at the same time as Zip drives . . . Zip won out, bought that too . . . but now use thumb drives and off-line storage . . .
How many times have I bought Carole King's Tapestry? LP, 8-track, cassette, CD, and ipod download. Eventually I'll just have it downloaded to the chip in my head!
