For me this Sony Reader gadget is very good news. I can't wait to get my hands on one and be able to confortably read books and web articles on my bed.
I can see that lots of people talk down on the eText reader concept because you can only read and there's no possibility to write or take notes or whatever. Well, for one thing this new reader will be able to play mp3, although I couldn't care less for that feature. What people seem to forget when they mention this lack of features is that when reading a real paper book, like say, some romance or scifi, people most times just read. Usually there's no note taking. So the ability to store tens of ebooks and other articles on a single device, with the announced batery autonomy of 7500 page turns makes this Sony Reader something extremely interesting. Let's just hope they don't make a mess with the DRM policy chosen.
