I am the proud owner of a REB 1100 ebook reader from RCA. I purchased it on a lark for about $40 on overstock a couple of years ago. I use it to read “classics” I can download off Blackmask for free rather than pay Penguin all that money. (Note: Blackmask is down do to various legal matters) Bottom line- I love ebook readers. I was waiting for the new round to come out.
-Sony will be releasing the PSR-600 this summer for around $350. Looks good, but let me know when the price drops below $200.
-iRex iLiad e-reader. Looks great- but costs $800! Just as a benchmark- I just purchased a new laptop for $999- Duo 1.66, 2gb ram, 120gb hd. Good luck selling that thing.
Guess I’ll stick with my $40 solution for a while longer.

So… I followed that Amazon link. And then the “People who viewed this page eventually bought…” list, and some book titles caught my eye.
Have you looked at these? The first couple were furry-erotic stories. The rest looked suspiciously similar.
Guess there are a lot of sticky e-book readers out there.
Some with matted fur attached.
Bleagh!!!!
I didn’t even notice that. Well my ebook collection is limited to Doc Savage pulp fiction and 100+ year old fiction. My e-book reader is clean and hair free. ;-)
