    I tried a Sony Reader for a few weeks and fell hard for it. I’ve dithered about buying my own–the iLiad intrigues me too–but each of these announcements stokes my need for a Sony of my own to cherish, fondle, and glom with.

    Tell me more. A reader is the only likely way of turning me to ebooks, but the only one I’ve seen is a Kindle. (Which I liked okay, but I don’t think the economics add up yet.)

    I think that might be the new one that was released yesterday (but not sure).

    Karlene said she wanted a red Blackberry and that would be nice, but the Sony comes in red, too, I believe.

    When I was formatting the book for the Sony, I could see the eInk effect (albeit because of the background and font combination) and I think I’ll take the Tax Deductions and go to Target today and look.

    Well, I’m hoping to get an e-book reader soon (printing things out to read on the train is obviously not ideal), but I’m waiting for something I can find conveniently in Europe. I thought about buying that kindle thing when I was in the U.S., but stopped when I found out that it was tied to a sales service that I couldn’t access where I live.

    I’ve been in the mobile phone business long enough to have learned to buy the mature product instead of the first release ;), but the e-book business is moving fast enough that I expect to find something soon that I’ll like.
