There's a new product out by Sony called the Reader Digital Book and
it's supposed to be similar to the Kindle. It also is supposed to read
several different file formats. I've read a few reviews and it appears
to be a good product and less expensive than the Kindle. Perhaps it
would be available in the UK.
In the past few years I have accumulated quite a collection of ebooks
and I'm always printing them or reprinting sections to carry with me.
Ever since I saw this new product in a local store, I've been thinking
that this would be a wise investment. So I intend to go make that
purchase this evening. If you want, I'll let you know what I think of
it personally.
