The almost e-paper is here
If you follow currentbuzz, you know that one of my "holy grails" is e-paper and the portable read everywhere document. Sony is moving closer with its new device. It can store ebooks you buy, but it can also let you read .pdfs, blogs, etc. and it can play unencrypted MP3s. I am thinking this is my dream device for reading graphic novels, but I am going to try one out in person and follow up on that.
The e-ink concept means better readability than an LCD and less battery use. They claim you get over 7000 page-turns per charge.
Current price: $350.00
I am still thinking on it, but it is more tempting than previous products.
