Can anyone going to Denvention lend me a Sony Reader for the Technology Exhibition?

James Bryant · 08-01-2008, 03:08 AM

The "Technology of Reading" sessions at the World Science Fiction Convention in Denver next week will have a showcase with book readers. I am lending seven different models (including the new, large, COLOUR Fujitsu FLEPia - previously only exhibited in Japan) but Sony and Amazon did not lend samples of their readers.

Is anyone in/near Denver (or at the Convention) willing to lend a Sony Reader for the duration (6-10 August), please? If it looks OK it need not be working. Contact me direct james@jbryant.eu or, Saturday until Tuesday evening, 303-674-4888. I am flying for the rest of today (Friday) so will have neither phone nor email.

I won't lend you my 505 for the duration of the convention, but I plan to attend most of the ebook panels. If you want to borrow mine for the duration of a panel, while I'm there, that's ok with me. Outside of panels I'm using the reader and won't be lending it out.

If you do lend out your 505, make sure there is no illegal content on it.

No one on these forums has illegal content on their readers, that's preposterous :-D
