Wow, nice display and good contrast. You posted a great question. I also wonder if it can only view DRM-protected files. I have bought non-DRM books that I have on my computer. It sucks if I can't view them.
whats the mp3 capability like on one of these things? Do you get access to stuff like dynamic bass and equalizers or am I just been too optimistic XD I do have an iPod so i doubt it will rival that.
for some strange reason, this video made me think of Bill Gates when he was showing off his new "windows os" because it was the latest thing on the market. maybe this music is producing the effect...
Hehe. Everyone thinks I'm a scientologist, but It's not true. I don't really like them, but L. Ron Hubbard was a quite good scifi writer and the Mission Earth series is one of my favourite :)
No criticism, just an honest question; I thought Scientologists werent allowed to use the internet without first installing website blocking software so they would not see sites that are critical of the movement? Last I read, that list included YouTube for the number of anti-scientology videos hosted here.
Just curious.
Thanks for the review of the Sony, btw. The screen looks great. Good job!
Looks like some Mike Oldfield (the author of the exorcist theme, Tubular Bells)... but not really sure if it is one of his compositions. Give it a try, you may find something interresting if you like this song.
Well. I just bought this and guess what? eReader doesn't support cyrillic! How ridiculous is that, it's year 2009! Two thumbs down for Sony. First Blue Ray drive died on my PSP3, now this. Shame on you Sony.
If I may ask, how were you able to reduce the margin width? Every time I check out a display model, the margins on the books are much wider. I looove the very slim margins, because it means more text can be displayed on a page.
I can't wait until the schools take this sort of thing up and we can store our textbooks in something like this. I think that would make my back really happy.
But it's a horrid orange tan colour. Also, when I scoured my UK city for one yesterday, I could only get the silver version. No one was selling the navy one, which was what I really wanted.
I was thinking along the lines of the Gutenberg Project ebooks, can they be put onto this reader? I'm suspicious that Sony might require us to have their books in their format, especially after the copyright fiasco regarding CD's etc.
and i was thinking along the lines of independently released books on the net. I too would like the OP to clarify the issue of format, not whether or not Sony provides some free stuff. What if Sony never releases "The Pirate's Dilemma"?
From what I've learned, out of copyright stuff seems to be okay, but commercial books have to be bought from sony outlets. I'm not sure about those free ebooks you can find on sites like The Burgomiester's Books (an ebook library).
no matter Europe, America, Asia pacific. We print too many newspaper everyday. I hope we can read newspaper with this kind of machine in the near future. Stop wasting paper.
But the viewing screen have to be increase in size.
Ejj, akár hányszor megnézem, mindíg rámjön, hogy kell nekem is egy ilyen. :) Persze Magyarországon még csak hasonlót sem nagyon lehet kapni, ha jól tudom. :/
First of all, i wanted to check out this ebook, but the porn music gave me a boner, so now i have to search for big tits...

Snap. Don't agree with Scientology but Hubbard was a great writer.

Well I guess he'd have to be at least a little bit good for 15,000 people to follow a religion based on his science fiction writing.
