So Paulo Coelho made it onto the NY Times bestseller list by pirating his books. I’ve only read the first few, but The Alchemist seems like it would be a good read. (I don’t remember exactly, but I may have read this book already a long long time ago).
Which brings me to electronic readers. Most visible is probably the Amazon Kindle and Sony’s Reader. While I’ve never been a fan of reading from a screen, these eink devices are supposedly a lot easier on the eyes. I’d like to try one out, just to see how much I would miss a few hundred pages of paper. I have my eye on the iRex iLiad or the Han Lin eBook v9, which both sport larger screens than the 6″ Kindle or Sony screen. Here’s a spec matrix of current readers, thanks to the MobileRead forum.
