Default Re: Amazon Kindle - Electronic Reading Device

I have this pathological fascination w/ gadgets and gizmos... I haven't compared the specs but how is this different than the Sony reader that came out awhile ago, it also uses e-paper tech.

I messed w/ the Sony version at Fry's and, more recently, Costco. Pretty cool, you can press down on the screen w/ your fingers and no LCD liquid effects happen. Much, much easier on the eyes than standard display technology.

The one thing I don't like about "one page books" is that you can't fully use your spacial memory (i.e. flipping pages)...but that's made up w/ search functions I suppose.
