I got excited too, thinking I can finally trade in my pokey Sony Librie...

At that price however, I might even regress to paper books...

I got so excited until you mentioned the price. Now I must cry in the corner waiting for something better than Sony eReader.

a haiku
is one breath.

5-7-5 "syllables" is a myth, guys. 17 "on", or Japanese phonemes is the traditional length of a senryu or haiku. 17 English syllables is considered cheating.

Still, I'm waiting for someone to come out with a mac-compatible ebook reader, but... whaaaaaat?

2 seconds (8 colors)
10 seconds (4,096 colors)

Looks like the price isn't the only thing that's WAY too high.

They plan to produce just 10,000 - 100,000 units in 2008 and start shipping worldwide up to a million pieces in 2009 with prioces of about $310 for the small unit and $500 for the large size. A much more reasonable price structure.

What woman on earth takes a look at this thing and goes "Hmmmmm...I like...it's a little pricey...but OMG, it comes in pink!!!! I'll take three!!!"

Marketing is a sick-strange world.

As to the tech, I look forward to flexible display s and eInk going mass production. Once the price comes down, there's incredible oppurtunity.

No way in hell I would spend way more on a paper replacement than a car, and no other sane human on earth would either.
