Are you going to be doing any reviews on the new Sonys coming out? (Or Sony’s puzzling decision to keep their prices considerably higher than the Kindle & others)

I love all things ‘tech’ and particularly all things ‘ereader’ but, as Steven stated, that was the most boring, uninformative –almost painful– interview so far. If was almost as if they had not yet quite decided what the final product is going to be. If Anthony struggled to make the Copia product/software interesting –and he should know Copia through and through– I can just imagine how exciting the actual Copia and ereaders are going to be.

Hi Len, I posted a tweet to let you know that you gave the wrong twitetr address for copia. It should be @TheCopia. Anyway, I requested a beta invitation to see what it will be like. While I don’t usually use book suggestions from people I don’t know, I think anything that encourages reading is good. I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s like.

I found your interview with this guy the most boring interview I ever heard on your podcasts. I have no interest Copia. I am getting a new Kindle 3 next week, updating from a Kindle 1, and all I want to do is read on my Kindle. I have not listened to the entire interview as I do not want to hear about Copia.

He could have read the books he purchased from Sony and Kobo on the Nook and it’s not difficult. I wonder how hard he ‘tried’ or if he read the directions in the manual. In fact, if you look at the Inkmesh link included under the review you can see that every single store aside from Amazon lists the Nook as a compatible device, the Kindle is only listed under Amazon. You can not only also read library books on the Nook because it reads the Adobe DRM but try any book for free, for an hour, in store.

Having tried both side by side myself I agree with him that for highlighting and dictionary the Kindle is better. The Kindle is a little lighter which is nice but also wider, with Nook’s soft back and more narrow size it’s much more comfortable in hand.

Randall … The e-ink display that all of these e-readers use makes a backlight impossible. There are plenty of lights designed with e-readers in mind that can easily clip on and work very effectively. The new kindle even has a cover with a light built in that draws it’s power from the kindle itself.

This was a very informative review. I had no idea the nook was so far behind … even my 1st generation kindle would beat it in these tests, and that’s not as easy to use as the kindle 2 shown here with the 5-way controller.
