bobsponge Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 The new Sony Reader comes with a full text of Orwell's 1984 as the only full eBook factory-installed. I thought that was pretty cool of Sony to distribute it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinokamen Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 That is pretty nice. However, I think it would have been better to include The Fountainhead instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsponge Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 That is pretty nice. However, I think it would have been better to include The Fountainhead instead. Would be cool, though I liked Atlas Shrugged more. It was more in-your-face and biting. Though I liked Toohey more as a villain. AS's villains were more 'decentralized' it seemed. Anyhow, the Sony Reader is very cool. Much easier to read than a book (less thumb-stress!) though its interface leaves a few issues to be improved, for instance the crappy lack of ability to erase a single bookmark or the bookmarks in one given book-- all you can do is erase every bookmark in every book (kinda cheesy). Would also be nice to be able to hilight a quote you like for further viewing or reference. I look forward to a much less voluminous bookshelf, in any event, as well as the savings in postage and paper that will build quickly considering my book habit, and instant gratification to boot on the new book purchases.
