I love the last line of the article. Journalists seem to be skeptical about the popularity of ereaders!
FOSTER CITY — Police are looking for two people who robbed a delivery driver of roughly $70,000 in e-book readers on Thursday, police said.
Two men surprised the driver as he was working in the back of his delivery truck at a business complex on Lakeside Drive about 6:30 p.m., said Foster City police Capt. John Froomin.
"Don't move, don't look or I'll shoot you," one of the men said, according to police.
It was not clear if the robbers had guns, but one of them pointed a dark-colored object (a nook?-ed
) at the victim, Froomin said. Police said the suspects grabbed seven boxes, which contained about 300 Sony Reader Pocket Editions, and loaded them into a white cargo van with two rear windows.
Police are trying to determine if the robbers, who wore black ski masks and were dressed in black clothing,
knew what was in the truck and targeted the driver or just grabbed the closest boxes.
