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'. -- --------------- Andrew Hague - Researching Computer Aided Learning & On-Line Lectures.

I just finished reading a scathing review in "New Scientist" - seems like a good idea with a lousy implementation (screen hard to read and clumsy search software). According to the same article Sony are to release a version with "sound" capabilities.
