a little evam in your life.

Added a couple of new reviews (for out-of-copyright ebooks by Agatha Christie and Maxwell 'The Shadow' Grant) to the evam section of the site - had actually read them some time ago, but finally got round to writing them up. I know a lot of people still have issues with reading ebooks, and I can only say that I swear by the RCA REB1100 Ebook, which was based off the original Nuvomedia Ebook from Gemstar. It's specifically designed for reading books and only books, so the screen and text are a perfect size, the backlighting and adjustable contrast is excellent, and thanks to sites like Blackmask, there's 11,000-ish free titles to download for it. I particularly like a lot of late 19th and early 20th century fiction, so perhaps it makes more sense for me than many in terms of good, free, out-of-copyright downloads, but still, I think the REB1100 is a hint of things to come in terms of usability and comfort. And prices are starting to go back up for REBs on Ebay, a sign they may become prized in the future - I noticed similar with the Gameboy camera and Gameboy printer after the flood of discontinued copies abated.
