Just in time for the holidays, Sony has a new ebook Reader that wants to overcome all your objections.  So you like the feel of a book in your hands?  Check out that leatherette binding.  Well, the similarities end about there, but little matters like weight, aesthetics and tactility are matters of habit, right?  Here’s a link to David Pogue’s review of the new Sony Reader at the New York Times.  He finds it fair enough, and it’s a handsome enough gadget, and he’s probably right to note that while it might be a great utility for the most utilitarian purposes, those who like to read their books with love and affection will find little to hold.
