[at-l] e-books

[David Addleton]

does anyone carry one?
@ $400 and 10.5 oz this one still doesn't meet a hiker's needs, though it
does appear to improve the concept incrementally . . . hikers want a lighter
version and keyboard for email; travelers may like it, tho' . . .
I know some people carry a paperback or two in their pack which weighs in
lighter than the 10.5 oz of this e-book;
the ability to carry 200 books and wirelessly pick up new books as you
travel, along with news and magazines, is the major improvement here . . .
but still not good enough for me to buy one . . . no backlight means daytime
or reading with a headlamp :(
