I have never seen another
Hi McCramer et al,
In all my travels I have never seen another one, of any type (dedicated bookreader), apart from the ones that I own. I have had comments whilst in transit on planes and buses, ranging from "what’s that?" to "What a cool device". I would love to see a Kindle just to see if it is really as ugly as they say. The Sony, the CyBook and the Iliad are all rather elegant with the CyBook being the best as far as looks and size is concerned.
I find it rather interesting that there seem to be so few bookreader’s around, particularly given both the high literacy and reading rate of most Western countries where they are readily available.
Just about every man and his dog has got a mobile phone, not to mention two or three TV's and a GPS in the car or on a PDA type arrangement, and I think that there are more MP3 players in the world than there are people.. But Bookreader’s are singularly absent
Just thought I would add to the pleasant waffle.
Cheers
John
