But seriously, my wife has a Reader and my mother-in-law has a Reader. Both of them do not find they need a version made for women. This made for women nonsense is sexist and stupid. What is it they think women want/need that men would not? Just make a good device with good software and it'll work for all. The only thing I can think of is that women may want colors that men would not. And that's been taken care of by Cool-er.
