In which the interviewer obviously knows nothing about current eBook readers. But a bit of a scoop here: Astak is negotiating for DRMed ePub with Fictionwise!

Sony Reader PRS-505 - What Sony Doesn't Want You to Know Before You Buy

This is a demonstration of the Sony Reader. It is not a full demonstration, rather, it shows how it would work in real-life, when one is simply reading a book.

It is a great little device, but this is clearly still very much an early adopter choice.

In the example, I show a Japanese-English dictionary. The benefits are clear, even in this limited example: carry a 750g dictionary, or carry a 340g Sony Reader. And of course, since there are more than 200 other books stored on the 2GB SD card, the choice becomes an even easier one.

However, if you do not have oceans of time, that choice may not be so clear-cut. Watch and decide for yourself.

Here's the text review for th above, in which he does not reveal that above video is of a PDF.
