Pffft. Clearly it's an BNphone, the next iPhone KILLER. Seriously I keep reading that no one reads books anymore, yet everyone is beating each other up to be THE eBook reader like eBooks were the next MP3s. Don't get me wrong, I like eReaders and welcome the competition, but until manufactures kick some sense in publishers on price and adopte a (less restrictive) universal DRM a mass eBookphoria ain't gonna happen. No how, no way.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tones Jom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 13th 2009 4:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Barnes &amp; Noble hosting event on October 20: ebook a lock?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/barnes-and-noble-hosting-event-on-october-20-ebook-a-lock/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/barnes-and-noble-hosting-event-on-october-20-ebook-a-lock/</guid><description><![CDATA[A color ebook too boot ;^/...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frankenstein Black]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 13th 2009 4:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Barnes &amp; Noble hosting event on October 20: ebook a lock?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/barnes-and-noble-hosting-event-on-october-20-ebook-a-lock/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/barnes-and-noble-hosting-event-on-october-20-ebook-a-lock/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nope - Plastic Logic debunked that myth today.

Currently, the hottest market for e-Readers is for travelers.  For travelers, space is a huge issue.  Also, over long business trips it's not unheard of for someone to fly through several books.  The immediacy of wireless download, the space conservation, and the flexibility to read both books and PDF's make these highly desirable for business travelers.  I agree that these won't be truly mainstream until they start selling at sub-$99 prices, but until then it's nice to see them working out the ergonomic and screen real estate issues.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Q Public]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 20th 2009 11:58AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
