Get ready for the newsstand in your hand

Here is another article about the latest e-readers. I notice that the Edge got another bad review on size and weight.

Personally, I don't think a lot of people are seeing that the Edge is a move to the right on e-readers as a whole. I see the Edge as a way to make e-documents highly interactive. It is more than just being able to annotate a book.

Technologies such as the Edge and the Copia line, will make books stop being islands of information but instead be jumping boards for interaction. Not just interaction for classrooms but for everyone.

I think it will be neat to pick up a read, get myself immersed in it and then have right in my hands a natural way to extend the experience.
