The Ebook Reader is Here


Ebook readers are slowly but surely gaining a foothold in today's technology driven world. When Amazon's Kindle first came out it didn't take the world by storm. It was a novelty and bibliophiles around the world eyed it with interest. It was apparent that others would soon follow in its wake and they weren't disappointed. Today, Sony has its own range of readers and there are others like Foxit's Eslick and the iRex digital reader vying with each other in a rapidly growing market catering to large number of consumers.



On a more personal note, I'm in love with my new Sony PRS 300. It is by no means the best reader in the world but it can hold up to 350 books, it's very easy to handle and it's mine. Perfect. It also sports the epaper feature so it looks exactly like a printed page which makes reading easier.
I just about had a heart attack when it froze today. But after a couple of hours of freaking out I noticed the reset button which set things right again, thank God.

I've got to get back to 'Mostly Harmless' now. Excellent book. Douglas Adams is a genius.
