thats a really retarded question. people read in bed all the time loser.

It looks like something which came from Soviet era East Germany. Beige plastic, that's just so 80s.

We're gonna get one of these-- we originally needed it so my bro could keep his college textbooks on it, but then we decided we'd also get one for the family. :D apparently it is able to download books anywhere within phone connectivity? Do they mean like the iphone?

Yep, the technology is modeled after a phone, so it's all around wifi

Interesting. Wonder why there isn't a backlight though.

i know right? i was planning on asking for one for christmas and i assumed there would be a backlight.

looks like an old game boy. No color screen lol.

omg! haha I remember those! Lol even though they weren't in color I always loved those games anyway xD

seriously why would you need a colored screen?? your reading! its not like your playing a game. and books arent colored anyway

I wasnt saying I wanted a color screen, I was just commenting on the fact that it looks like the old school nintendo game boy.
