ebook reader

[celticdragonfly]

I *NEED* a good ebook reader. Really really really.

I've been reading stuff from one of my Baen CDs - the ones that come in the back of new hardbacks and will have the whole previous SERIES in them, and more - on the computer, and enjoying it. Transferring another one to the computer now. And yes, right now I'm in the recliner mostly horizontal anyway, so it's not much harder to crane my neck to the monitor than it would be to use an ebook, and sure, I can knit easier that way (I need a way to page down that doesn't require hands, darn it) - but I WANT these on ebook, and it'll be way more convenient in the long run.

These guys are working on it, yes. But I want it SOOOOON - going to drop them another email and ask what's up with the news.

(And why does LJ not have an "impatient" mood icon? Don't they know me at all?)

I'd find a laptop much more compelling at that price. Or a high end PDA. If I can buy a Blackberry with all the bells and whistles, which does web, email, phone and eBook reading, even if not as well, it's a lot better deal than just an eBook reader, to me. Maybe if I was making $50,000 a year (a lot of my fantasy financial life revolves around that figure. I suspect it will be far less exciting when I get there.)


Anyway, my real suggestion is to ask James Bryant, because I recall that he loves his and is not the type to put up with the technological foolishness of many publishers.
