I'm alive...And I love my Sony Reader

It's been a long time, I know. But I'm still on the face of the Earth, still breathing on my own, don't have any health issues (not that I know of)...I've just been super busy in the last few months.
I can't wait for my vacation, that's for sure. Less than a month to go. Yay.

Speaking of vacations, and finally landing on the subject of this post...I'll be able to bring a brick-load of books with me, without any extra luggage.
Why?

Because I finally bout an ebook reader. And because I mostly read PDFs and I find the Kindle blah in the design department (no offense, Amazon), I went out on a limb and got the new Sony Reader (PRS-700).

Ooh, I had my doubts, especially thanks to all the bad reviews you can find on the web (the bad vs. good reviews ratio is pretty well, bad).
Well, as soon as I pumped it full of yummy electric juice and started it up, those nagging little doubts went *poof*.
I turned it this way, turned it that way, turned it up, turned it down, and I was like "Where's the freaking glare? There's no freaking glare! How come there's no freaking glare?!"

Yeah, I'd like to think they made mine special and glare-free, but I don't think that's the case. Of course, I haven't tested it in the direct sunlight (it's been pretty cloudy lately), but I've read it in bed with the little nigh-stand lamp on...And, wonder of all wonders. There was no glare.

I bet the "glare" the people complaining about the "killer", "disastrous", "tremendous" etc. glare got was the stare-of-death from the sleek, sexy Sony Reader when they dared mention the word "glare" in the first place. Booya!

Anyway, the incorporated lights are great, illuminating the whole screen (killing yet another stream of complaints), the touchscreen works like magic...I haven't gotten around to the music part - I'll probably try it just for kicks, it's a digital reader after all.
But what is most important, for me at least, besides being able to carry brick-loads of books with me without the extra luggage, is the note-taking features.
Is anyone into tree-saving? No more printing to take those small notes (I love those, don't you). How cool is that?

Anyway, I love my Sony Reader, have no complaints whatsoever, I'd recommend it in a heartbeat, and...did I mention how I love my new gadget?

I'm off reading now! Toodeloo!
