I tried to show off my Sony Reader at our family gathering today, but my family, who are all voracious readers, were not impressed. They politely admired it, but that's it. I think it was because the lighting was not the best, so no one could see it. (Even when I showed my mother a great photo of her 1950 wedding, her admiration was just a polite comment...)

They were much more impressed by the "real" (i.e., paper) books that I brought as part of the "family book exchange" that we do every time we get together....
