Well the N&O is my paper, and they have never been known for cutting edge correspondents. I just don't understand why he (and many others in reviews I've read) seem to want some sort of wacky gadget with all kinds of features, but still want a good book-reading experience. To me an ebook reader is successful if it replaces the reading experience in the most simple way - you forget you're reading a book. It seems like the Reader does that from all the feedback I've seen here (mine's still in the mail.) Beyond that, having plenty of storage capacity to store books is the next big thing, but in terms of search features, highlighting, and all the other things that reviewers bemoan the Reader not having, I don't get it. Does every electronic gadget have to have a feature list a mile long? Can't something be simple, do what it's meant to do, and still be good?
