The Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader and iRex Iliad on Twin Cities Live
I think eReaders are awesome. While Ed and I disagree on the subject quite a bit, I do end up using my eReader every day. I think the technology is so cool that recently I appeared as a guest on
Twin Cities Live to talk about eReaders, what they are and why they are way more awesome than Ed lets on.
For those who missed it, on the TE YouTube channel you can see my initial review of the Amazon Kindle when it first came out. I have a Sony Reader, an iRex Iliad and an Amazon Kindle yet I have not done a video review of the three in a shootout. Need some motivation to product that clip, anyone care to see the Kindle vs the Reader vs the Iliad?
Great job on the TV! We need more people promoting ebooks in this way. I think I'm going to include this in my weekly installment of Friday Link Love tomorrow so even more people can see a side-by-side comparison of these ebook readers.
Personally, I own a Sony Reader, but I've been doing most of my e-reading on my 1st gen. iPhone - I use the eReader app from iTunes and download my books from Fictionwise.

I have medical problems with my right eye and find it difficult to read a full page width without experiencing vertigo, etc. I am a university dean and avid personal and professional reader. I started downloading ebooks to the small form factor of palm and windows pdas for years now and think it a perfect solution for people like me. I plan to look into the larger format devices that you mention.
thanks
