Oh, I wish. But the Primer was much more connected than the Sony Reader. The iLiad comes closer, with its possibilities for interaction via the stylus, especially with, for example, Wikipedia. But remember, the main greatness of the Primer was in its content, which was, as requested... "subversive."
