One of the devices that has enticed any and all self-respected book worms, is the digital Sony Reader that uses e-ink technology. It looks the company has started to listen to the complaints that their products receive, and this time around they really brought out a much nicer product.

Besides the obvious technological improvements, this player is identified by any Mac or Windows computer as a standard USB drive, and can have it’s memory upgraded thanks to it’s SD slot (sorry folks, no SDHC).

The Engadget reviewer, Ryan Block, still thinks that the $300 price is a little expensive for what it is, but this time around he is much more satisfied with the hardware it’s general response.

Although I find this technology great, I’d rather wait to see this technology embedded into another device like a cellphone. But for any avid book reader, this is definitely a device worth watching out for.
