When these are hacked to be general ebook readers (around 1/83rd of a second after they hit the streets) I want one. |
Just for the heck of it, I looked up that encyclopedia. It has 16,000 articles.
This thing has over 3,000,000.
I ordered a Wikireader. It was $6 for shipping, and I just got an email yesterday saying it could take up to 10 days to ship.
I only have a work cell phone, and it doesn't have data, so I am a target customer. Looking forward to trying it out.
