Sony Electronic Book Reader

The first cool product out of this years CES is the Sony Electronic Book Reader. About the size of a paperback book but thinner (about 13mm 1/2 inch) it will hold hundreds of books in flash memory down loadable from the Internet. It will also be used to view blogs. Completly portable with long battery life this looks like a real break thou we should see it in stores this spring. I haven’t seen a price yet read more about it at Sony

Two things come to mind here first how will Sony react when people start downloading books via bit torrent. Oh you know it will happen. Second will book publishers set up their own version of the RIAA to try and crush what they view as a threat to their business.
