Hi, this is my first post here, but i've been visiting since i first heard about sony reader.

I just read a Businessweek article about digital books future, here:
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine...f+the+magazine

It was a nice read, but what caught my interest most is this:
" There's even speculation that Apple could come out with its own device, an iPod designed for books. The secretive company hasn't said anything publicly and declined to comment for this article."

They might call it iBooks lol

Another thing i noticed is that PlasticLogic's reader is still a long way to go. "It's partnering with Japan's NTT DoCoMo (DCM ) and plans to have a product on the market by early 2008."
