I have a Cybook and don't need a Sony.

The Kindle is "Geographically Restricted" ....

I believe not that Zelda has a Sony, it's not listed .....


Where's GERMANY and PORTUGAL in the poll ..... (I demand a re-count).

Geographical Restrictions

Is that, like, not being able to stray too far from the bathroom lest there be an unmentionable accident? Is it, like, only staying between 0 and about 6000 meters above sea level lest there be a fatal absence of oxygen? Is it, like, being restricted to a rather narrow orbit around sol as we ride this big ass orb around it? Dang it, I just don't get it.

I was unimpressed with the K1 and K2 so I'm waiting. Eventually, they'll release a K9.

OMG, four times as many Sony users?

Hum, I theorize that Sony users are more likely to participate in polls than Kindle users since Kindle users are busy reading whilst Sony users are... not.



(I also predict that when my Kindle 9 is following me around referring to me as doctor Sony's Asimo 50005 reader will only be able to do weird dances and be challenged by stairs)

Careful DG, your bias is showing.

We must be respectful of all, even those in splinter groups. that get their lunch handed to them while the rest of us have to go out or bring our own lunches.
