eBookMan Prices Going Down, Down, Down

eBookMan

"eBookMan Ok, so the Blackmask Online site informed me that Consumer Depot had these on sale for around $50 so I bit th ebullet and bought. I'm a technophile and a reader so I figured this ought to work. After some wrestlign with the Mobipocket Reader I was able to load In the Beginning...Was the Command Line, a fitting choice if I do say so myself. I found the experience of reading in this way to be pleasant, but different from the tactile feeling of reading a paper book. ANother good loo,ing site, besides Blackmask is, . Now I have to start reading through the Handheld Librarian." [Library Techlog]

For $50, I may finally buy one of these just so I can pass it around at my presentations and show what a bad technology ebook hardware devices still are. I don't know, though. I should be more excited about this, but it seems like a bad sign to me.
