Also, as soon as I went to sony.com to check it out, the first thing I see is a big advert which says

"carry stacks of books in one hand"
"The Reader. From Sony."


So, I think that proves my point.

EDIT: Also, just want to add that I'm very pleased with my reader so far. Now I just need to develop my theory for archiving of books electronically. Could take me awhile.. took me almost a year to come up with a method I like for storing my audio collection.

My only complaint about the reader is the lack of a built in front light. I think it would have been reasonably feasible for sony to have integrated front lighting and it would have added significant functionality.
Any lighting would decrease the battery life. As it is now people can go for weeks without charging.
