Amazon unveils Kindle DX e-reader (BBC News) - 0 views

  •  
    Prices etc. are still a problem though... (oh, and you can't get kindles over here - brit firm plastic logic bringing one out soon though. IMHO I think that in a couple year's time, when they hit ipod-like mass market (and are a lot cheaper) these could potentially bring a lot of change/possibilities in HE.

    E-book - I have not read it but it looks comprehensive
  •  
    I have read it (so has Sam I think). It is well worth reading through (at least quickly) to see the range of ideas.
