[LM_NET] GEN: Off-topic: Sony Reader Daily Edition PRS-900

[Toni Koontz <fussbgt@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

Dear colleagues.
I know some of you have purchased e-readers for personal use and for school use.  
My husband wants to get me one for Mother's Day (he's a sweetie).  We have been 
looking into the various ones.  Our public library has on its ebooks pages a list 
of compatible e-readers.  It lists both the Nook and the Sony Daily Edition.  So 
far, I am leaning toward the Sony as it has Wi-Fi capabilities and that would be 
even more convenient for me, although, I recently heard that Nook  also has Wi-Fi.

However, before I  have him invest $400 in one, I would like to hear from any of 
you who have been using these  devices.  I feel almost like a traitor as I have 
always really enjoyed having the physical book in my hands. But, as with  most 
things  these days, I have to keep up with the latest in technology or be in danger 
of being considered an old fossil, which given my age, is not exactly  a wrong 
assumption. LOL

Please respond to me off list and I will be glad to share findings with anyone who 
is interested.
