While we're sure plenty of you have already made up your minds about the new Sony Reader, those still on the fence now have a
fresh review from Nate Anderson of Ars Technica to aid in their decision-making. Overall I think Nate did a pretty good job describing the pros and cons of the Reader.

Despite some quirks, the new Reader is a beautiful device that excels at what it was designed to do: display e-books. It's also a reminder that Sony can still develop some incredibly slick hardware in slim packages. At $300 a pop, though, it's fair to ask how many people are going to buy it... Still, if the Reader sounds like the sort of gadget you can't live without and you can live with its quirks, it's a superbly built device with a screen that will blow you away. It comes highly recommended, but only to those certain they have a use for it. Everyone else will want to check one out, wonder at the screen, then leave it on the shelf.
