Barring that option, I'd much prefer to listen to a book on my iPod than read one on a digital device. Not only is it easier on the eyes but, while listening, I can do something else while I listen. Doesn't Sony already offer a digital book reader? My first choice would always be to read a paper book.

For me, that would be a shame. I prefer to feel a book, jump to different sections (I like anthologies) and turn the pages by hand. I also prefer to walk the aisles of libraries and old bookstores. It may not be the most efficient way to search but it is the best form of discovery. But I guess it's a matter of personal taste and what you like to read, and how. Kindle may offer some useful functions. I might store some reference books in there, maybe magazines. It also has a browser-- so it's not strictly a book depository. Will have to see how others have found it useful. -jf Books may be a casualty of the internet. For me, that would be a shame.

I read two to three books a year. That may sound like a small number, but something like 70% of the population never reads another book after they get out of school. As an above average reader, it would take me a decade to pay that thing off compared to a plain old book. I think this is an amazing solution for a need that doesn’t exist.
