I asked my Aunt who's a published writer of books on Writing, if there was a device a little bigger than her Dell Handheld that would have a screen with a look close to that of a book page, and does nothing but designated reading with a long battery life, would she get one? She said absolutely without a doubt.
She knew about alot of the failed readers out there, but knew nothing about Sony's Reader.
Read my lips Sony, you have to spend money, to make money. Buy some shelf space in more than 3 stores, make it a little easier to find it on your website, and maybe throw a commercial out there. I have another idea, get some more Writer's to talk about it publicly. The only buzz I hear about on this device is from us mobileread members.
If there is a higher demand for these devices and content, we'll see more buzz develop, more updates, and more publishers taking Connect seriously.
Before the Ipod was developed, there were quite a few failed devices. Nobody even knew what an MP3 player was until Ipod came along. Like Ipod, Sony took a great idea that was out there, made a much better product, but they continually fail to market this thing.
