PC Mag reviews the Reader

"There is no doubt that the Reader is a huge step forward for eBooks. The screen is great, the battery life is superb, and it looks good, to boot. The device does a really good job of reading books bought from Sony's online store, too, provided you are in a well-lit environment. Many of the Reader's limitations, such as the performance and the RSS feeds, seem easily fixable via firmware. But until they are, it is better suited for early adopters than avid readers."

I finally got to see one this weekend at the Houston Galleria mall. Like one of the blogs, I too found it difficult to believe that I was looking at a working unit. The eink looks so natural. Nifty device.
