I was never happy reading on my cell phone, if I was stuck somewhere it was a bit better than reading the laundry and care labels on my socks. I read somewhere (Gizmod?) that the improved Sony had been released in the US and I did a bit of research. The iLiad, available in Europe, was out of the price range and the other eink offerings were either vaborware or not available anywhere I was. I saw the Reader at a Boarders and bought it on the spot (my wife said I should buy it before I even said a thing.) It is a lot more enjoyable than reading the labels on my socks ("wash in cold water, do not ....")
