Sony unveils Reader with built-in light

starrigger · 10-03-2008, 01:05 PM

Just read this on Washington Post.com: New Sony Reader has light, note-taking stylus. The new Reader has LEDs built in.

Psst, starrigger ... check out the MobileRead front page.

starrigger · 10-03-2008, 02:16 PM

Oops. I never look at the front page. Who knew?

Mm, I think your count is off. I come up with...everyone minus one.

Ah... well... make that "everyone minus two". I've been coming in via the back door all these months (to "MobileRead Forums > E-Book General > News and Commentary"). The "front door" is kind of purdy!!

Heh, I have to make it a point to periodically check the front page myself -- I usually come in through a direct bookmark of my favorite new-post search.

Me too. And I leave the MobileRead page loaded in the browser for days & days on end. I normally refresh the view with the "New Posts" pull-down to the "Last 24 hours" option.

Thanks starriger, I would never have known otherwise. Are there really people who look at the Mobileread front page rather than just the forums?

NatCh · 10-03-2008, 05:53 PM

Apparently there are, but I don't think there can be too many.

Same here. But I actually have the new page link book marked and on the "links" bar in my browser. This way I don't have to scroll around the page to hit it.

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Actually, I hit "User CP" first, to see what's been happening in threads I've participated, then the Editor forum, and then (if I have time), new threads w/out ebooks.

But I knew to keep an eye out for front-page news in this case.
