A great Slate piece on why you don't find technology (computers, cell phones, etc.) in children's books.
Quoted: Technology, as we well know, has become a ubiquitous part of American children's lives. And yet there is one place—a whole world, actually—where children are safely walled off from wired and wireless devices. That is the world of picture books.

The Sony Reader actually seems really well designed - my prediction is the problem will end up being the price ($350). A high price to pay when you can just go to the library for free.

You must be shiwani's friend before you can comment on this Fave.I've been downloading e-books to my Palm for years and love it. It's not perhaps the best format, but I always have my Palm with me and I don't have to l;ug around another piece of equipment.
yeah, the idea of carrying around yet another gadget doesn't really appeal to me. do you find reading from the screen at all straining on your eyes?
i've always been under the impression that people disliked reading from the screen - wondering if this has changed over the years due to the internet and higher penetration of the personal computer.
No I still hate it.
yeah, me too. my eyes get so dry & strained after editing on screen all day. i much prefer printing things out if i'm going to do a lot of reading.
