    lol You’re an idiot. Number 1, who cares about the smell of a new book. Number 2, THERE IS NO LIGHT, other than the lamp that you have to turn on if it’s dark. So it’s the EXACT same thing as reading a regular book at night. Number 3, you use it to escape the real world and calm yourself. Well that has NOTHING to do with the physical book itself, but the story inside the book!! LMFAO One of the most moronic comments I have ever read.

    It’s not for everyone, but I did buy one for my daughter. She travels constantly and also is an avid reader…because she very often travels by foot and backpack this is perfect. For years she has carried up to 10 books in her back pack at any given time, and this is just heaven for her. So I agree…there is nothing like the smell of a new book, but for some lifestyles this reader will be perfect!

    NO!!!!!! When I heard about this electronic lump of junk, I cried for three hours straight, and THAT is REALLY hard to make me do! My face gets scrunched up at just the thought. What would reading be without the smell of a new book? The ability to read late at night without your parents knowing(the stupid light would shine through your door and they would know)? Just plain disturbing. I rely on books for a way from the real world. A way to calm myself down when I am sad.

    The price isn’t really the issue for me, though it would be nice if it /they were cheaper. The main issue for me, is the availability of books for the device. I would hate to think that exclusive rights deals are made with publishers; which will exclude other books being made available for it. This would mean you would either have to buy more than one device, or still buy the paper version rendering the whole purpose a bit pointless. The device should be neutral.

    I was thinking of getting one of those ebook readers, just a simple one that holds like 512mb which is enough to hold a few hundred books because these are text files we’re talking about… but damn for some odd reason things cost more than ITouches hah so forget that… that sort of blew me away like why are these 512mb text display ebook readers not like $50 hah… oh well. regular books it is

    Screening vs reading?? Okay, then the same can be said about CD’s vs cassettes vs LP’s, VHS vs DVD, keyboards vs typewriters, television vs attending the live event, analog vs digital PERIOD. This isn’t new, it’s been going on since the the transistor was invented. even your brain is a wireless device that can accomodate any data stream, thus it’s capacity of the spawning of such technology – though, with evolution comes pollution.

    Umm – if I am “screening” right now, then when I “read” (for want of a better word) a printed book, then I am “paging.”

    Sure, the Amazon Kindle is really Japanese. Polymer Vision did not work on an ereader device but with foldable screens. And what about the Philips-spin-off Liquavista, now targeting on ebook readers as well?

    Philips, Polymer Vision, iRex. all companies who really innovated these devices. However as usual these dutch firms are incapable to market their products properly, as a consequence it are the japanese who will be making the big bucks from these type of products while other firms were first.

    i meant to type: this is not reading, this is screening.
