Hi, Turtle Woman. The Reader came out in time for my birthday, too. I ordered it on line ---- don't think it's out physically in stores yet.
I thought it would be buggier --- they were clearly racing to make the Christmas market, though I wonder if they have, really. But no problems at all so far and I've bought a lot of books from Connect and am pleased with their offerings and the pricing. (Waaaaaaaaay too pleased.........32 books on the Reader so far, only a few free ones.)
I saw a review in the Wall Street Journal of the Reader and looked it up. I've resisted ALL electronic readers so far but it must have been time for a platform shift in my life (okay, I'm running out of space in the six new barrister bookcases we put together) because I was riveted all afternoon and bought it on the spot. They said it wouldn't come for a MONTH, but it was only two weeks.
I am very well pleased with it. It's a security device --- all those books! Now I don't have to carry several around "just in case."
