Sony Reader details and pics

Sony has released a new eBook reader that shows promise--although the pricing (between $300 and $400) is too high, this appears to be the first eBook reader that has a chance of surviving. The big deal is that is can read PDFs as well as Sony's proprietary format, and it only uses battery power when you flip a page--the display, once the pixels are set, uses no power. Pretty cool. I have to wonder, however, how many people will want to buy yet another gadget to put in their briefcases, what with the preponderance of iPods, Blackberries, etc. Yet another gadget to converge into the other mobile devices!
