Sony LIBRIé Sucks
“In 2004, Sony launched an e-book reader in Japan that also failed to take off. Called the Librie, it won plaudits for design, but its high price and draconian antipiracy technology — users could only “rent” books from Sony for 60 days before the tomes deleted themselves — scared off consumers.” - BusinessWeek
Really? I’m shocked! Sony created a decent product and then hamstrung it with unbelieveably shortsighted and stupid DRM? That never happens!

they had one at Border’s book store… it really was quite nice, the screen **looks** as paper does… i had to check a few times to make sure it was on and i wasn’t just looking at an empty unit with a picture on it…
it’s pretty big too… i wondered if it had any computing ability, then i got bored and walked away to buy the book, “Just what do YOU care what other people think??” by Richard Feynman
Great Book!
Sony sucks! ;)
