Exclamation Reader+Kindle in New Zealand

Silly post really.....

In the 18 months that I had been looking to buy a Sony Reader I had seen a total of one unit in my travels around NZ (and indeed the world!) It was on my fourth trip to the US about 6 months ago that I actually go around to buying one.

In those six months I have not seen another e-ink based reading unit until yesterday.....

I was sitting on a plane from Wellington to Auckland and the woman sitting across the aisle from me was reading a Kindle!

Now to those of you in the US that may not be very unusual but to those of us that are a 12 hour flight from the nearest retail outlet for either reader it was somewhat of a strange experience.

Oh, and damn the Kindle is as ugly in real life as I thought it would be!
