This is a crap idea! You really can't beat having a real book in your hands, the smell of the book, the cover artwork and virtually no eye strain. There's tons of gadgets out there that are VERY VERY COOL, but this idea and product ain't one of them.
99.9% of the time i'd choose the high tech option, I mean, I'm always checking the engadget web site but this is the .1% of the time i'd prefer the retro version.
Sorry Sony but this is a rubbish idea!

So I don't think he'll be buying one. Which is good, there's a shortage after all!
