Reading devices I have known
A couple of days ago, someone suggested David write a retrospective about the different e-reading devices he had used through the years. It seemed like a marvelous idea to me, and there certainly is room for more than one such article.
So here is mine.

Review: Fictionwise, Overdrive e-book lending libraries

Heating up: Fuss over Kindle vs. iPhone for e-reading
How big a screen do you need to read E, especially e-books, and what does this mean in the escalating Kindle-vs.-iPhone debate?
The larger-display faction: My wife, a baby boomer like me, favors big fonts. When Carly is in the mood for an e-book, she hates the idea of reading off a PDA-sized screen such [...] Continue reading
Nokia to open source developers: Learn biz—including DRM
