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.

secret wars comic book covers. you can't tell me this isn't sweet~ :P
FYI for the comic geeks - notice the lower left hand corner. this was originally shown to show 'first run' comics vs. reprints. the reprints had bar-codes. also if you notice they show the black custome of spiderman (which you later learn is venom).
