Well it was for me ...

I dropped into our local Waterstones, on display 2 readers that shall remain nameless because the store did not have them switched on!

They had 2 Sony Touch readers available for looking at, both switched on but no books loaded!.

I found the metal case intriguing......

I then walked to the Apple Store, and browsed among their iPads and iPods. I also looked at their Airbook (?), and also a touch-sensitive mouse.

I found these metal cases, also intriguing......

On touching the metal surfaces they tingled my skin! I am assuming this is a common feature; do those of you who have these readers even notice the sensation, or am I unusually sensitive?
