I would like another Sony so that I can smash it on the street with a baseball bat just to let out my frustrations.

Because crustatean deserve to read too....

What? <Lifts, and starts using ear-trumpet>

No, you said shellfish reasons, not....

Oh. <grumbling> Just as stupid, but still

Because shelfs have rights and need a lighter load as well....

What? <Lifts, and starts re-using ear-trumpet>

No, you said shelf-ish reasons, not...

Oh. <grumbling> Just as stupid, but still....

Hmmm. Okay, I've got it.

My job at the aquarium requires me to know details of thousands of species that we sell, and it is important to make sure I have the right information to hand all the time. With this, it would be so much easier for me to sell----

What? But you just said sell fish reasons, not....

Oh, for ..... Okay.

'cause I'm now a grumpy old sod, and if I get it, no annoying you whippersnapper will....

We only have two offices - one in London, and one in... Belfast

I want to win cuz I have 2 already but really need the Sony Reader to make a complete set.

This would also let me try out this new format I keep hearing about... ePub was it?
