I recall seeing the Bookman in a window of a store with what I thought was a hefty pricetag back in 1989 or 1990. Plus the display and lack of titles didn't impress me. It wasn't until the device became smaller and lighter than the physical book that I became interested in ebooks. And even then the screen was what sold me on my first Palm.
