Last Night

By Mark Shead 5 Comments

Last night I got a new electronic book device.  It was the size of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper and had 600 dpi resolution.  The quality was excellent.  It worked in bright sunlight without a problem.

I put all my scanned documents on it and found it was just as easy to read them as it was on paper and it was even easier to navigate and find documents than using the filing cabinet.  I loaded it with all the PDF articles I wanted to read and found it worked flawlessly.

Then I woke up.

I was very disappointed.  Should I be concerned that I’m now dreaming of becoming more paperless?

    … and it could display CHM, HTML and RTF files as well
    … and it would have a USB port, unlike the Kindle that requires to have an online connection if I just want to transfer my own files to it
    … and it had WLan and an Internet Browser, so I can read RSS feeds at home as well as offline using Google Reader and Google Gears
    … and it has an optional backlight

    I will buy one too! :-)

    .. or someone build a convertible EeePC with touch screen and stronger battery (but roughly same price please)

    I dream the same dream. Plus touch screen for putting notes directly on pages. This device is so simple! Why it’s not here already?

    I think everyone is trying to design a device that they can make money off of the content. This makes them make bad decisions when it comes to making something really useful.

    I have been dreaming of similar devices for a while too – however, it would have the additional ability of being able to take notes with ease – and not the halfway measures I find Graffitti or its relatives to be… Imagine such a device plus a keyboard not unlike the Psion 5.

    Whilst it’s not going to be out ’til later this year, the Hanlin V9 (Early review here: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19113) has a nice big screen and may turn out to be what you’re looking for.
