A few other friends of mine read books on their PDA/iPhone/computer.

So I guess it depends on the environment you live in. If your friends prefer paper or just don't read much (no pun intended), it doesn't mean everybody around is like that.


...Oh, almost forgot, I also have Zune (with Zune pass) and iPod Touch, so you can say I am on both sides, if you wish ;))) ]]>Mar 6th 2009 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/What's the touch screen technology, and does it reduce the screen contrast like on the Sony PRS-700?]]>Mar 6th 2009 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/
eBook readers that have open formats are really cool but they are all way to expensive for me to bite.]]>Mar 6th 2009 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 2:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 6th 2009 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 7th 2009 9:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/Mar 8th 2009 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/
That doesn't mean that I won't devour a new ebook device when the right one for me comes along. The new Kindle is darn tempting but...no backlight...UGH!]]>Mar 6th 2009 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/
Plus you could always get a clip light.

...but, not to point out the obvious but sony's prs-700 or something has built-in frontlighting, maybe you should look into that?

You can buy relatively cheap 64GB USB sticks now, so why not take advantage of this capacity, and stop having to rely on out-of-date storage capacity in portable devices?

However, that does not demonstrate to my a systemic problem with customer service. I'm not even a customer but when I made sales inquiries on their sales contact page (the same page you used for support, apparently) their responses have been timely, to the point, and cordial.

Get that chip of your shoulder, you'll feel a lot better about it.]]>Apr 21st 2009 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bebook-2-e-reader-revealed-and-in-the-wild-at-cebit-2009/I am leaning towards Kindle 2 or Sony PRS-700, but am worried i will not be able to down load from my computer onto the system and then read my files. Kindle doesn't seem to support any other format, unless you email them the documents, books, pdf etc that you may have on your computer for them convert? Not so much of a cost issue as a mojor hassle factor??

can anyone advise which would be the best product, keeping in mind that i travel a lot and also live outside the US at present.
thanks ]]>May 12th 2009 3:27AM
