The Sony Reader
The Sony reader is a hand held digital book that you can take with you wherever you go. It's about the size of a paperback novel and can carry an entire library of books. With additional memory cards, you can take hundreds of novels with you on vacation, to work, or for those few spare minutes you can grab during the day.
The Sony Reader is the best digital book on the market and it is #1 on my Christmas list this year. Is it on yours?
