last100: Sony continues to plug along, introducing promising third-generation eBook reader

    I've got a couple of gripes with this post:

    1) Compaing the number of downloads of a reading device for the iphone and actual sales of kindle doesn' really capture anything interesting. Reading a proper book on the iphone is a miserable experience and it's not the future.

    2) "The Reader uses the same E-Ink technology that Sony and Amazon currently use on their readers, but it’s still not color." Ths is listed as an inconsequential improvement when in factit means nothing's changed.

    3) Wireless isn't that big a whoop. People outside the US can't use kindle anyway and people are going to be paying as much for ebooks in 5 years as they do now for music.
