Here I am in China, where I can't easily buy books. So the Reader fills a need for me purely as a reading device. I read much more now than I did with my Palm devices. This is simply due to the comfort of the Sony Reader.

But I am one of those who will take off on the equipment too. I am so tempted to re-flash, and get into that whole trip. I have been involved in Linux since the mid 90s. It is another important source of enjoyment for me.

However, with this Reader, I am being very cautious. If I break it I am almost compelled to hand-carry it to the US to solve the problem. I think if I had two of them, one would become a development toy.

But now I just happily read and read and read.
