What if it's being reviewed as an eBook reader from someone who is a *reader* but not an eBook reader.
Because someone isn't an eBook reader does not mean that they don't understand what they're reviewing. Don't assume they confuse this with a PDA or a laptop. Although I occasionally read a book on my Palm, I'm a reader, I'm not an eBook reader.
If Sony is only marketing this to existing eBook readers, then this product is doomed.
I'm not saying this is the case -- I think this is the first generation of eBook readers that has some chance outside that small ghetto, but if it has any chance of breaking out, it has to aim at the larger community of readers. That means that you have to consider how it compares to paper books, and not just other eBook devices.
