The Biblio File

I first heard about Sony’s new Portable Reader System on ComandN, and then found this write-up about it on The Handheld Libriarian.  It’s a portable e-book/PDF reader that seems to address a lot of the problems previous handheld e-book readers had. The screen on the Sony PRS is supposed to be much easier on the eyes because the screen refreshes itself only when  you turn the page. The memory also sounds like it is pretty good. I can see a lot of potential for these in libraries, particularly as more of our reference books are being purchased as e-books.
