A pal of mine in the UK was sent a Miroad ebook-dedicated reading device by a buddy in China, where the reader is manufactured (hardly unusual, is that) and where it was introduced and seems to be taking off big-time. I believe it's now available in the US for well under $150.

But my Scottish friend is a technodunce (a bit like wot I am) who has never experienced an ebook before and can't tell me much about it because he's still a tad baffled by it all.

From what little there is on the net, it seems like a neatly designed 5" e-ink machine, non wi-fi, and capable of handling several formats. But that's all I know.

Wonder if anyone here has bought one, reviewed one, tested one, seen one ... or even heard of the MIREAD?

Thaniks for any feedback, chums. 'Twould be much appreciated. Neil
