Why do press folks hate Sony?

Check out this latest review by some dude from the NewsObserver: http://www.newsobserver.com/104/story/504912.html

Some of his comments:
  • I get the sense that the people designing them are people who don't read books in the first place.
  • Why would you want an electronic book without search capability?
  • The list goes on. I don't like to mark up good hardcover texts, but an e-book should let you annotate freely.
  • Why does it not allow me to simply highlight a text, as I can do in any paperback with a yellow marker?
  • Sure, I can store bunches of books on the Sony device, but that's about it when it comes to real advantages over printed books.
  • Somebody is going to use this inspiration to get things right ... My hunch is it won't be Sony.

What an §(/%)$("! idiot. He doesn't deserve the Reader nor any other E Ink device. He should go back to his pityful iPaq and stop whining.
