I have an e-reader! Impressions thus far: heavier than expected, though that’s partially its leather case. Doesn’t have a touch screen. Not certain I think that’s a minus, actually. Page refresh is a bit slower than I might like, but I don’t really know how fast a Sony or Kindle or Nook refreshes, either, so possibly 1-2 seconds is par for the course. It’s also an older model, because I’m cheap and got a refurbished one rather than a new one, so a new one might move faster. Either way…

ARCs!
I just got a box of WAYFINDER advanced reader copies! I’ve never in my whole career gotten ARCs before! It’s very exciting! In celebration, I will give one away! Well, one on the mizkit propagations, anyway, which means it’s just one between mizkit.com and mizkit.livejournal, but DON’T BE GREEDY! Comment either at mizkit.com or mizkit.livejournal.com and I’ll draw a random number on Saturday and stick the book in the mail Monday!
e-readers
On the advice of a commenter I have investigated BeBook, found them interesting, and have ordered one of their e-books, which comes out to less money even with shipping than a $)*&(& Sony does. And it comes with a case. So *there*.

I spent a not-insignificant amount of time today trying to buy a damned Sony E-Reader. You’d think they didn’t want to sell the bloody things to people. And in the end I still didn’t *get* one. *mutters*
