I remember the LIBRIé came out somewhat earlier, Wednesday March 24, 2004 (6 years 3 months 28 days ago) but was never made available outside of Japan, correct?
The Kindle came out later than these - Monday, November 19, 2007 (2 years 8 months 2 days ago) and the Nook came out Monday, November 30, 2009 (7 months 21 days ago)...
Are there any other crucial dates I'm missing? I'm thinking especially before 2004 or between 2004 and 2006.
Actually, there have been *NO* liseuses released - at all! We have seen a plethora of e-ink and LCD ebook readers (e-readers), but no 'liseuses'. Please, don't encourage the language revisionists.
