EVEREX! You must visit them. They will be introducing the Cloudbook, an EeePC competitor, same price but with a ** 30GB ** HD. And it should be available later this month. Plus, it might have this: http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/03/gos-2-0-rocket-set-to-debut-at-ces/ Check out the hardware, especially the keyboard, and see if ebooks fit into this at all. As usual, if you are caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions... Ah! EVEREX! You must visit them.

I'd like to hear what the iPod/Zune/Zen people have to say about eBooks. The more I think about this, the more I believe that the solution to the DRM tower of babble is to have strong competition from the multifunction devices. If Apple/Microsoft/whomever settled on a standards-based scheme (or even supported HTML or ePub formats without encryption) I think this would push everyone else to respond.

Bring along a printout of my blog post to wave in their face. But be nice about it. I would stop by Sony’s booth. Bring along a printout of my blog post to wave in their face. But be nice about it.
