I looked at this site/e-reader this morning. It looks amazing. I imagine students and educational groups will benefit from this technology.

Is it too much to hope that the availability of an Android version will be followed by a general linux one?

It's interesting that they claim 390K books for Kindle - which is a low estimate of what Amazon will sell you, I think - and compare that to 1,000K+ on the Sony, and 1,260K from them. This looks like they're counting access to Google's million books, which is a bit misleading (and you can read most of them on the Kindle if you're that way inclined, in PDF). I wonder how much high quality content they actually have.

I found a beta of Toshiba's bookplace client online which is basically the Blio software re-branded I think.
Seems quite a nice reader, has direct downloading from Feedbooks and a google book search built in. |
