First the reader and in a few months the books ? That's a pretty silly thing in my opinion. Also the fact that there are so few places that you can actually see and handle the reader might be a reason for people to ignore the whole thing.
That's 40 books more than yesterday! I read there will be over 3.000 books before the end of the year, but that some were a bit delayed because of the holidays.

Still, the 1500+ books there are now is a huge step forward.

I'd love to get a blue 600, But I'm afraid to buy it, as my wife swore she would kill me if I got another one of those damn gadgets.
So I'll keep putting out the garbage and be a good boy, and who knows,
Xmas will soon be here.
Yes, you should listen to your wife! Always (but just not this time )
