Your mention of being in the phone business made me remember that little tidbit.

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.

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.

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’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.
