I love the concept of this device, but sadly, I have not laid my hands on it. I have been reading books on electronic devices for years, and this looks dramatically better than anything I've used. The size, the contrast, the easy of access to a library all looks very good. Unfortunately, who has this kind of money lying around for books? or rather, just to access books.
This brings up a major problem I have with ebooks. Why are they not cheaper? Clearly they have no production cost compared to printing books, yet they still are close to books in actual dollars. In fact, if you wait for clearance or good book sales, you can often pick up the paper edition for less than the ebook. Until that changes, ebooks will always be a novelty.
Oh .. almost forgot the link. You can read more or watch a few videos of this device here
