The SonyStyle Web site now features the forthcoming e-book reader based on e-paper. But it's not an "e-book"--rather, it's a "Portable Reader System." Silly name. Calling something fundamentally simple a "system" makes it far goofier and less appealing than it would otherwise be. (Like those ads that promote "sleep systems." No--they're beds!) What, then, is a printed book--a "literary transmission system"? Is a writer simply "a delivery system for words"? (I feel that way sometimes...)
Interesting, you can't actually preorder it, but you can pre-preorder it.
