They just weigh a tonne, which is not good on the metro!S.

The Sony Reader would not be able to give others the same experience. I also crave the tactile experience of feeling the pages of my books and live for the smell of old bookstores. I, for one, do not plan on ever purchasing the Reader or any similar device. If I'm ever fortunate enough to be published I hope that my words will be imprinted upon actual pages...SDCC 2010https://www.blogger.com/profile/05305078421968366506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-1164116989351194822006-11-21T14:49:00.000+01:002006-11-21T14:49:00.000+01:00Next week then ... you do know we're both in our l...Next week then ... you do know we're both in our late 80s, don't you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-1163536189481257142006-11-14T21:29:00.000+01:002006-11-14T21:29:00.000+01:00Hello Julia, welcome, from one media person to ano...Hello Julia, welcome, from one media person to another - I used to work at the Beeb as well - what a big beast, eh?
