I have to admit that I do not have an e-reader.  I know I have been doing news items on the late and breaking news about these e-readers, but I have yet to purchase one.  There is something about holding a book in my hand, turning the pages with my actual fingers and highlighting key passages that I love - all of which keeps me from purchasing one.

I might have to bring myself into the 21st century, however.  There have been a host of changes and updates made to these e-readers lately.  Sony is now offering an update for their reader.  This will allow Sony owners to buy e-books from other options besides Sony.

Now you can download books from independant publishers, as well as free content from the Web.  Also, while libraries offer free downloads of certain e-books, Sony owners were not able to download them onto their Sony reader because of an incompatability with the software.  No longer though!  This makes the Sony reader more accessible and user-friendly than Amazon's Kindle reader.

I would love to hear from any DJR users who use e-readers!  Could you please respond to this email and let others know the ins and outs of them?  Can you let us know if you love them or hate them?  I guess the printed page was once a new concept, so maybe I have to brush the cobwebs outta my hair and get with it!
