So, different in one of the most important aspects of an e-reader then - screen size. Thanks for coming.

Quick question: How is it justifiable for libraries to delete a book from your eReader if the text is in the public domain? A text-only library edition of Moby Dick has no production costs and no royalties attached -- the same novel is available as a free download from the Gutenberg Project. What business is it of my library if I wish to keep a copy on my eReader?

Perhaps beleaguered book vendors should begin offering package deals for texts -- something along the lines of _100 Classic Books for the DS_ (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/100-classic-book-collection-review).]]>Aug 26th 2009 7:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Not many of the people who actually believe in those ideas are readers I would think.]]>Aug 25th 2009 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/
Underused??? Have you ever BEEN to a national park?? Trying going to the Grand Canyon or Shenandoah, or Acadia, or Yellowstone, or ANYWHERE. If anything, many of the parks have more people passing through them than they can really handle. ]]>Aug 25th 2009 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/

And by the way: "Libertarian" is hardly ever used correctly even by its professed advocates. Newt Gingrich calls himself a libertarian even though he's never advocated a socially progressive platform in his life (such as Proposition 8).

"Interestingly, the library buys a fixed number of "copies" of each title and "checks out" the licenses, so you're on a time limit -- licenses will revert after 14-29 days depending on your local branch's rules."

I would think using an e-ink device to surf the web results in a horrible and slow experience. Better off using your blackberry/smart phone for that. The last think I want my ebook to become is an "all-in-one" that does everything poorly and nothing well. Basically, I buy an ebook reader to read books.]]>Aug 26th 2009 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/

Having visited Sony's shiny new sonystyle store yesterday in Ion Singapore wanting to take a look at the reader - and told "sorry sir that is only available in the UK" - I was really looking to Sony to address a huge gap in the market with the Reader Daily now Edition and came out bitterly disappointed.

Ok Apple - here's your chance to beat the pants off both Amazon Kindle and Sony - bring it on!

haha, i kid, i kid.

I know nothing about the Asian book publishing market, but here in the US, they are embracing and adapting to digital book media with open arms (nothing like how the music industry has been). They are working with companies to produce services such as digital audio books and ebooks, thats why devices like this and the kindle are gaining so much steam so fast.

I'm guessing the hold up in Asia must be inpart due to publishing houses, but like i said, i'm just speculating. ]]>Aug 25th 2009 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/Aug 25th 2009 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/sony-announces-daily-edition-reader/

enjoy the thrill of being an early adopter!
seek the never ending pleasure of paying for our R&D and fat salaries!
watch as you pay yet again for the same content you already own in another format!
never again will you need a book that last 100 years and has a transferable license, no!
experience the future now, with built in obsolescence!
