SciFi Tech blogger gives Sony Reader a B
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.

Reading the review, I have to wonder how much he actually used the Reader. Eg, he refers to it as having 64MB RAM. That's what the Sony web site tells you, but every Sony user knows that you actually get about 94MB free memory!

Maybe so, but it seemed like a balanced non-techie review to me. I even liked the paperback they compared it to!
