Comments on: Second Generation Sony Reader Launched http://www.forevergeek.com/2007/10/second_generation_sony_reader_launched/ Nerds are for Dorks Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:14:48 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: William Patrick Wend » Sony E-Book Reader http://www.forevergeek.com/2007/10/second_generation_sony_reader_launched/comment-page-1/#comment-37821 William Patrick Wend » Sony E-Book Reader Sun, 07 Oct 2007 21:49:34 +0000 http://forevergeek.com/gadgets/second_generation_sony_reader_launched.php#comment-37821 [...] Forever Geek is reporting that the new Sony E-Book Reader has been announced. I love E-Books; a lot of things I read online end up as PDF files so I can read them when I want. I would love to have a good, portable, E-Book Reader that allowed me to view e-books, txt files, PDF files, etc. As Forever Geek notes, $300 is still very pricey for such a device. That is a lot of paperbacks! When this thing goes down even further in price, I’ll be first in line. However, until then, I can’t get behind it.

I haven't seen the quality of the screen but is it really worth the hefty price addition? It's a shame because I too really like the idea as there is nothing quite like sitting and reading a book and I would so like this idea to catch on.
