I've just seen this sony electronic book which is now on sale here in
England.  I think they are trying to push it through some large retail
stores.  However, it seems quite limited in the multimedia sense.  Basically
it is just a text information retrieval system.  I suppose it cuts down on
the number of manuals, directories, reference books you have around the 
place but I would have thought integrated speech or music output would have
been available.

Does anyone have any opinions about this machine or what sony hope to
release next in this line of 'gadgets'.
