Is this site going to be linked from the e-ink entry? How do we get this noticed on Cnet and maybe even Sony themselves?

I haven't tried to promote Feedbooks a lot yet, mostly because this website is still beta material and I need to add and/or fix a few stuff, and make sure that we could generate a whole lot of PDF files at the same time.
With the beta release, I'll try a few forums dedicated to people who like to write. When we'll reach something much more closer from a first final release, we'll add someone dedicated to the promotion of the website in our development team. Websites such as Digg, blogs like Lifehacker should be the main target but I'll also create a mailing list including all the techies that reviewed the Sony Reader for various magazines and websites. On second thought, they could discover this way that you can do much more on any e-ink devices than just buy books from an online shop like the Connect one.
But the one and only way to make this work, is to create a whole community around it. We'll open a blog and poll the users on different subjects during the beta to make sure that everything's going the right way.
