Kobo has released a new 5" e-ink reader. Looks similar to the smaller Sony PRS-350 that I already have, which I like a lot. The price point is much lower, though. They just sent me an email advertising a Black Friday deal for $49. Tempting to acquire a backup device.

But I think that I would rather go motorcycling tomorrow, than shop. Even though the weather forecast has deteriorated, this may be my last chance of the year to really get out. I'm going to brave it.

The jokes, they write themselves. ;-)

If you went riding, then you did better than I. 2 hours in line checking out. ACK!

My PRC950 finally died... I guess it wasn't as roadworthy as I had hoped it would be. I bit the bullet and got a new iPad 4 (64Gb, WiFi-only) on the morning they went on sale. So far I'm liking it, even the Sony Reader app is nicer than the native Sony version. Only thing I don't groove on is that Calibre doesn't directly interface with it... Or if it does, I haven't figured out how to make it happen yet. Guess I better read the eReader forum archives....

My two Sony readers are still going strong. They may have a slightly easier life with me, though. I carry them on the motorcycles, but I don't do much other traveling; they mostly get used at home.
