Now it gets interesting
In the UK this is going to shake things up. I love my Sony 505, and my efforts at the moment are centred around justifying and importing a red 600. But $1.99 surcharge or not, this can only be good news for eBooks.
My big fear is that someone (Apple?) actually gets a tablet right, and these expensive eInk readers fall by the wayside, and our retinas are back to being fried alive. I think this move makes that less likely, and I'm stunned at the figures Amazon are quoting for Kindle editions versus dead tree versions.
Exciting times!
