[LINK] ebook readers -- here they come!

[Jan Whitaker]

I've been watching the ebook shift. It's not just the access to the 
ebooks themselves, but the reader equipment. Kindle started it all in 
terms of public awareness [Sony had a model out before I think; a 
friend bought one in the US.] Now the second wave is coming. Good 
article on how to choose one on Wired:

That led to another posting that compares the ones currently on offer 
or pre-order. FoxIT has come out with one, the PDF software company, 
but it's not on the matrix.
Here's the matrix: http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-book_Reader_Matrix
Here's foxit: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/ebook/order.html [$259US 
plus shipping of $30US to Australia]

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
