Ebook readers are definitely on the rise. I never thought I'd like a gadget like that, but then I got a Sony and liked it so much that I ended up creating an entire website about ebook readers. Regarding the earlier comments about the Amazon paranoia: 1. You can turn the wireless off so the Kindle is not connected to the internet. 2. You can and should back up all ebooks on your computer. 3. Amazon will probably never delete a book ever again; it was by far some of the worst publicity they ever received.

Its really bad for your eyes to read alot of text off a back lit screen. Thats why e-ink is so revolutionary. I wouldn’t recommend using a laptop as an ebook reader.

OK at 4 inches diagonal you get a lot of page turning, but those turns are instant not like the SOny thing (I saw it in Waterstones) that flicked to black between every page change. I've read on planes, while walking, and at home. And the benefit of a pda - you get diary, contacts, email if you want, games, satnav and much more.

Many observers cite lack of wireless capability or net access as a major disadvantagefor the currnet generation of readers. I see it the way Daniel does - this seperation of device and connectivity prevents any "orwellian" interference. It is very easy to remember to load books on to the device before a trip- you have to charge the device via usb anyway. Daniel makes a very interesting point.
