I'm fine with turning pages manually.

I'm not saying that someday music, video, text and everything else won't be storable on that same magic tablets. Just not today.

This will be really cool someday.
But like most new techno-gadgets, I'll wait a while for them to refine it (and lower the price).

I love reading and I can't wait to jump on the eReader bandwagon once it's matured a little more. The current Sony one looks peachy.

With what will I get a paper-cut from, if not a book?

When the battery dies, there's nothing to read! Oh my god! Your book has vanished!

If electricy was NEEDED to read, Amazon wouldn't try to sell you a Kindle.

If you investigate a little more about this device you will learn that it doesn't require a lot of power to read.

Investigate your conscience. This costs $360.

So? If you read a lot of books it will eventually pay for itself. NYTimes best sellers go for $10.

I'm waiting for something roughly 7x10.5 with color epaper that isn't too muddied or subdued. If I can use it for my book and comic collection, I'm sold.
There are prototype color ebook readers floating around, but they have horrible refresh rates and current color epaper leaves a lot to be desired.

you know, this thing actually surprised me. i thought it looked so goofy, but it's really good, though i don't own one. i heard the amazon guy on the today show say that the first one sold more than they had planned and that 10% of their book sales are for the kindle, which surprised me.
