Bookpusher poll

[celticdragonfly]

So I was thinking about my usual bookpusher proclivities, and books vs. ebooks and such. Some books are easy to find in ebook but not hardcopy, or vice versa, and some there's a choice. I know I didn't get far on hooking fordprfct on Bujold, until I tried ebooks, and hey, that suddenly worked. For others, ebooks might be hopeless. So I'm curious as to my flist's opinions.

The ebook reader I mention is talked about here:

Basically, a simple ebook reader that lets you carry around just about any format from whatever source you like, without the company trying to own you and make you buy all your ebooks from them. No DRM will be built into the software. Yay. I signed up on the "why YES I want one!" list.

The last email I got from them was that the suppliers were saying they should get the first sample models in May, not April. So hopefully maybe they even have something by now, although I'm sure they're going to run into all sorts of delays. I emailed them again, we'll see if there's any new news.

Does look pretty cool. Maybe I'll get one someday. :-)
