When the Sony ebook reader came out I immediately jumped at the chance to get one. After all, carrying every book I own is the most alluring dream a literate person could dream of. Like the nascent technologies of the 1980s laptops, the image quality and size are lackluster. Not the best thing for a reader.
Then Amazon upped the ante with a large collection of works available online, cheaply, for their new “Kindle.” It wasn’t perfect, It suffers from the same issues I hold against Sony’s technology. Too small screen, difficulties displaying certain documents. It’s maddening! How am I supposed to load up my PDF copies of d20 games if my device only displays a quarter of the page?
Amazon has answered most of my questions with their new “Kindle DX” a larger screen, native pdf reading, and a slightly higher price (nothing is perfect). Naturally all I have right now is the announcements, but more writing will occur.
