I want to believe that this time around they learned, but the past always comes back to haunt us. I'm hoping the iRex is the e-book reader to beat this year.
I don't think you're alone in your skepticism..

I also think the PSP will play an important role in Sony's e-book strategy, with the e-book content that will be available at Sony Connect also being offered for the PSP at PSP Connect.
