Maybe he'll buy one for everyone and kick off the e-book economy!

More silly comparisons to the iPod. And the Kindle is not cutting-edge. These things just annoy me. These are not comparable to an iPod and cutting-edge already happened pre-Vizplex.

Yours is better cause it has the cool picture. Maybe Buffet will notice the extra attention and give us some money. One can hope.

Anyone invited him to the Paris get together?
Sounds like he'd find it useful (and he'd probably buy a round ). |

What people should do is invite him to support Open Inkpot. An OS, bookshelf and ebook reader which can run from the SD card on the whole gamut of e-ink readers would make for a seamless environment which would boost the desirability of e-ink readers - all e-ink readers. Hmmm... BRB. Okay, he's been invited to support OI. Derek |
