The document discusses the pros and cons of eBook readers like the Sony Reader. It notes complaints about eBooks like being heavy, having limited storage and battery life. It then lists the Sony Reader's features like its size, display and controls. The document also discusses desired improvements such as increasing page turn speed and contrast. It raises concerns about not truly owning eBooks and questions why people pay for titles they can get from the library.
