We've both had the Sony for a couple of years, and while I am all for getting rid of most of the library worth of books he's amassed over the last thirty or so years I agree books have their place, but it's getting to be a smaller and smaller place for me. I can't remember the last time I read an actual book that wasn't a cookbook, and I've got a library of those on my reader too. OTOH, the kids have been living their weekly summer trips to the library. We just replaced the hubbins Sony 505 with a Nook (he broke his), so I was glad to come across this.

It is really more of a look towards the future of eReaders than a review of any existing product. http://usofmind.wordpress.com/2010/01/14/ereaders-what-comes-next/ I posted my thoughts about eReaders.

I think Apple's tablet will be bigger and backlit, but of course that could change. And I hear that newspapers are pushing for a new type of device to save their asses too so we could see some very interesting developments in this area in the next few years. I'll keep an eye out for your post. @Liz, Yes, I still have that book, I'll send it back to you. Also, if you wanna peruse what I'm ditching I'll let you know when I put the go-box together :-) @Ben, yes, it is an unpredictable technology for sure.

It seems nice. I have never really played with an eReader before, but if I was in the market I would certainly consider the Nook. I'm waiting to see what Apple has in store, but honestly if it didn't have some sort of matte/e-ink mode, I wouldn't be interested in it, at least not as a reader. My guess is that before long you are going to see LCD screens with an e-ink function, a version of this showed its face at CES last week. eReaders are an interesting phenomenon; I kind of wonder if they will become dated before they ever gain marketshare. I think I am going to write a blog post on the subject so keep your eyes open for that. My mom just got a Nook a week or so ago, and I had a look at it the other day. It seems nice.
