Just mentioned in another thread that a five second clip on French TV news this morning showed the Black Friday rush on one huge US store (looked to me to be roughly the size of Monaco). When the camera turned onto the checkout, what should be rung up but a Sony reader. Sheer coincidence, perhaps, that of all the tens of thousands of items that could be going through checkout, it happened to be an ereader. Kinda backs up a claim here the other day that ebook readers were the second top item on the Black Friday shopping list ... second only to boots. Hoots. Neil
