Not E-books... I'm talking about such a device that looks like a book but is actually digital if that makes any sense. I've heard of it before, but does it exist?
or was someone making fun of me?:os
I think they are the same ! am not sure !

It's something that companies have been trying to perfect for years now, a digital book. A device that has all the physical characteristics and benefits of a book while also having the benefits of a digital device, including vast storage, annotation capabilities, networking, animations, and much more. So far, every launch has failed, but in the last few months Sony has come out with its Sony Reader, the PRS-500, and this might just have what it takes...
Hehe but wouldn't it be great if we had something like the book little Jimmy was reading in 'Treasure Planet'?
That's what I imagined when I read 'Digital Books' ><
Awesomeness :p

awessommenesss....
thanks for sharing that...
heys... what did little Jimmy use?...lol :XD:
My friend claims microsoft or whoever produced it 'stole' her idea cause apparently she thought of the idea of digital books long ago. She's thinking of suing.

but just look at that!!!... you have with you all the time.... there's no need for lights... no need to turn pages... you can probably download stories :hyper:....
it's reeeaallly something... I'm dying to have one of those.
i'm thinking of suing too PsYcHo..seriously! i had the same Idea as well..long time ago!
oh anyways..i thought it would be interesting, and it's sure handy! but i would still buy books for the pleasure of sitting back on a comfy sofa with a drink..and AC on..letting my hair down..umm, to cut it short? like a Galaxy ad :p the only difference is that it's a book instead of an 800 calories Chocolate Bar :p
i could still do all of those with that Digital book or whatever..but the smell of the papers won't be there and it's a very essential element! :(

^^here?... no no... sony's inventing it...
I wonder what type of problems they're facing. they can create laptops and documents in phones but they can't create a digital book?
