looks pretty sleek, and yet a very useful features as well. Just can’t imagine if there is no “free wheel” feature, our wrist might hurt as hell.
Posted by trugiaz | Jun 7, 2008, 11:28 amI don’t know about this. But I’ll admit that after dragging myself kicking and screaming to try the Sony Reader, I love it.

Posted by draabe | Jun 8, 2008, 11:53 amDo not like. Being a fast reader, I read a paragraph at a time. Being able to only view a few lines of text at a time would slow down my reading significanly.
Posted by Autumn | Jun 8, 2008, 12:17 pmI’m not so sure. It seems like a downgrade from current eBook readers. Why would someone choose to read off a tube, 2 or 3 lines at a time? And the focus on solid state memory, rather than wireless connectivity? I think we’ll see this on Paleo Future before too long.
