Books do something like this too; it is time something was done to protect our children from this flamboyant flashing. ;) |

| 872692 | 2010-04-06 00:49:00 | I bet children will now want a iPad instead of a laptop :D or those toy laptops :D I think in many ways, other companies are trying to copy Apple, at the end of the day consumers want it.. Silver shiney devies, big screen, touch screen, feature after feature. I think gadgets these days have gotten larger than the past but people are accepting them. |

It's certainly very distracting for the first few minutes (as I imagine turning pages in a paper book would be, if you'd never used one before), but after a few minutes you simply don't notice it. In the interests of full disclosure: I own an e-ink reader (Sony PRS-505), and have used it almost exclusively for the last two years - I avoid paper books where possible. |

I couldn't get the 3G to work here so i had to use the USB cable to purchase books. And lack of inputs, would be nice to see a plug and play USB port so you can load up some books straight from the flash drive but youd have to make the case thicker in order o put a usb |

| 872699 | 2010-04-06 01:51:00 | It's nice to be needed, but not when there's an unspoken accusation that somehow the laptop is poking fun at her lack of knowledge and it's somehow MY fault!! :lol: Ah so I am not alone in having one of this type of people!(sic) |
