With those connectors on the bottom how suceptible to damage from saltwater
spray is it.
The polymer model sounds pretty rugged but how fragiel is the Mark I if you
drop it?
Biggest detractor to my mind is the price, not only of the reader itself but
the fact ebooks cost considerably more than what I pay for used paper books
in book exchanges and flea markets.
And it least in the early years I suspect the kind of book I prefer will not
show up as an ebook.
Except for authors like James Mitchener and Tom Clancy I rarely read
anything that appears on the best seller list.
My most treasured finds are vintage books often published by vanity presses
or limited editions from small special interst publishing houses.
For text books and work related documents this is definitely an asset. Sure
beats lugging a laptop around.
