An electronic book that works?

[Alex]

Whenever I am in a position to "name" a machine in a network that is not my home stuff I always name them Ned in honor of Ned Ludd.

NA: I don't see a quality reader replacing books but serving as a more convenient carry around than books. I doubt I would use one at home. The fact that the Kindle allows purchases and downloads without having to connect to a computer is a huge thing.

If the aesthetics of the Sony reader were blended with the hardware of the Kindle I probably wouldn't even think twice about trying early adoption.

I guess I do most of my reading at home (or at someone else's home). I don't have a commute that allows for reading time so the only feasible application I can see using it for is when I travel. Now, if only I traveled more........
