New York Times article on e_books and the readers

LazyScot · 12-24-2008, 07:13 AM

(apologies if this has already been posted.)

The New York Times has an article which starts off "Could book lovers finally be willing to switch from paper to pixels?" It mostly covers things we are aware of, but I read the tone of the article as answering the question as yes, or at least it is starting to be yes. (Especially as it talks to a book-club officionado who previously disliked e-book readers.)

Its also is quite impressive in listing the range of devices available or planned.
