Sometimes it doesn't take much to excite me, but this article definitely did. Just look at the headline of this article:

U-M's entire library to be put on Google

You go Google! A whole library at our fingertips. Wow!

In a similar vein I've been watching ebook readers for weeks. Just waiting for the ONE that will trip my trigger. I don't want alot, really. But I want it to handle all formats, of course it will have to hold a ton of books, be about the size of a paperback novel, only thinner, weigh less and have phenomenal storage capacity, easy readability, great battery life and sync with my computer.

Some companies are getting very close. But not quite yet. Now I already have a Sony Clie TH55 that I've already purchased quite a few books and do use it alot. But there is something about having every book I ever wanted, I could ever read, text books, magazines....you name it, in my purse with me at all times. It just really trips my trigger.

I have no qualms whatsoever about giving up my stacks of books sitting here around the house. I have the stacks of "to read", "have read must pass on", "have read want to read again", "have read must save just in case".

Now don't get me wrong here, I'll never give them all up...but I constantly think how much easier moving would be.

Anyway Sony is getting close with it's Librie but it has a ways to go. This is an old article and it hasn't been released in the USA and from what I can tell what is currently available as far as ebooks they might as well not release it here. So c'mon Sony, let's get cracking. Anybody...c'mon, let's get this show on the road.
