Note: I've seen one once (this past Saturday for a couple of minutes, the woman pretty raved about it, I don't own one myself) >From everything I've heard/read, the Kindle has the Sony beat hands down. There's a better selection of books, it connect wirelessly, etc. The bad parts are that not all books are available (I went looking for some on amazon.com and could only find a few tech books), Phyllis said that she tried the Washington Post and it was missing most of the Metro section. I was interested in using this to replace the physical paper (I don't get it now), the part I was most interested in was getting the regional sections. Both the Sony and Kindle use similiar ePaper, the Kindle is supposed to be a little faster but that could be a desire on the owners part. There are gazillions of reviews on amazon.com. Amazon.com doesn't seem to exert any editorial control over it (surprises me, I'm glad, but it's still a bit surprising). -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly Recursive, adj. - see Recursive. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
