Could be Bob..

I just found a great tool to track trends at blogpulse.com.

"E-book" buzz (ebook|ebooks|e-book|e-books) See attached thumbnail #1.

It looks like the buzz created by the Sony Reader might have benefited the iRex Iliad as well. See attached thumbnail #2

Let's see how much the "buzz" picks up as the Sony Reader hits the market. Whether or not the buzz will translate into e-book market growth will remain to be seen...

[OT] It looks like the Sony Reader announcement is the best think to come along for e ink in quite a while! See thumbnail #3.
