Sony Reader named Travel + Leisure's "Best Travel Gadget" in their 2007 Design Awards

It seems that Travel + Leisure have given their 2007 Design Award for Best Travel Gadget to the Sony Reader.

They had this to say about it:
Quote:
The astonishing, high-resolution Sony Reader can store a library's worth of books and documents in a device the size of a paperback, and is perfectly legible in bright daylight.

"The Sony Reader is going to save a lot of trees; it might even save the world, actually." —Yves Béhar
Also of potential interest to Reader ... um, readers (and iLiadites too!), is the runner up in the same category: The Solio solar charger.

I haven't seen that particular charger before, but it looks nice and robust. It's Tech Specs would seem to suggest that it can even be used to charge the Reader! We were looking for something like this a while ago, so this is a particularly welcome bonus tidbit.
