SciFi Tech's Stephen Schleicher had a closer look at the Sony Reader and he concludes (rightly so we'd like to say) that the Reader is a pretty nice piece of electronics.
Quote:
WHAT'S COOL
Great form factor, lightweight, and runs circles around other e-readers on the market. Users can convert most traditional text formats for use on the device.
WHAT'S LAME
No color display - making graphic novels, many e-magazines, and pictures worthless to users. DRM-laden books from online store may stifle adoption.
FINAL MARK: B
Certainly the best e-reader out there, but the minor flaws bring the true usefulness and cool factor down several notches.
