Yeah, Sony is falling behind rapidly. I have a Sony PRS-600, but its big feature for me is the ability to draw notes on it with a stylus so I can mark corrections when going over my book. Not exactly a common thing. If I just wanted to read on it, the Sony readers wouldn't make the list.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

I cry tears of....tears at you, Vortex.
I saw the Kindle at Target, and thought it was a cardboard simulacra, it was so thin and wee. LOVE.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Cardboard Simulacras would be a good band name.

A reader you're not using?! Bad, sad, so not rad.
(Ugh, that was awful.)

I have yet to see a kindle. I saw and hated the Nook. I have seen Sony's and while not thrilled they are OK and about 1000 times better than the Nook (IMO of course).

I've seen several kindles used on public transit.
I tried not to stare and drool too noticeably....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
OMFG MAIL THREADING!!
I somehow missed that there would be mail threading. I was so excited about the unified inbox that I somehow skipped and skimmed? OMG!
Also, I now have my folder of Crap I Don't Use.
I don't have multitasking because I have a 3G. But the other parts are totes worth the endless download/backup/install/restore/sync-yet-again business, especially since I didn't have anything else I needed to be doing with the phone during that time.
Did I mention THREADED MAIL IN MY UNIFIED INBOX?

Yeah, I downloaded the update the other night and it took FOREVER. I still haven't put it on the phone, though.
