Now, I'm quite a techy kind of a gal but, thus far, I've utterly failed to get excited over the e-book revolution. Frankly, I'm just too in love with the printed word.
However, for those of you who happily live in 2007, Amazon has created an e-book reader and named it Kindle.
It's about the size of a trade paperback, costs $400 (currently only available in the US) and, like Sony's reader, isn't back-lit. This means you need decent lighting to read it (just like a real book), but it avoids the eye-strain associated with reading on-screen.
The Kindle can store around 200 books and has a wireless doo-hickey (told you I was techy) to access t'interweb.
