Yesterday I went to the SONY showroom here and tried the Sony DIGITAL paper. It is so lightweight for its size, it blew me away. It is a A4 sized digital ereader. First generation. I don't even know if there will be a second generation. It only reads PDF and can update/annotate also. It is touted as for professionals - lawyers/entertainment industry/school folks like you.

It is amazing and I was almost clsoe to buying it but a thousand dollars, i came back and still thinking. It has 4 GB built in and 32 GB micro SD card capability. I took a microSD card and the associate helped me put it on the device. I could read English and other languages. Was more interested in Sanskrit. Absolutely gorgeous, but for a lesser price will be a no brainer. Also If it could read epub I would not second thought.

I really wonder why Sony did not release this in Android or at least have a wider support for 3book formats.

Anyway ask me questions on this as I spend an hour playing with it at the Stanford Shopping SONY retail store.
