		<description><![CDATA[Some exciting announcements at CeBit, including &#8211; this one &#8211; from computer maker Asus. The DR-900 is 9mm thick, and features a 768 X 1024, touch-sensitive ePaper display. It accepts all popular formats, plays MP3 files, built-in WiFi (and an optional 3.5G connection) and (apparently) lasts up to 2 weeks on a single battery charge. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another &#8220;death of the paper book&#8221; post</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This time, it&#8217;s from a blog I follow called &#8211; Psychotactics &#8211;, and it&#8217;s using the Christmas day Amazon.com stats (the day that ebooks first outstripped tree-books in unit sales terms. This wasn&#8217;t in terms of revenue, because as I blogged before, an enormous number of the ebooks downloaded for Kindle were free, or very [...]]]></description>

		<title>Joe Konrath gets it</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another interesting post from J A Konrath &#8211; HERE &#8211; He discusses ebooks and pricing and piracy. JK is an ebook convert. He sells lots of them via Amazon in the USA. I think he gets it. He&#8217;s one of the few.]]></description>

		<title>CNN Money article &#8211; the future of reading</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interesting article &#8211; HERE &#8211; My response was as follows: Fascinating article. Thanks for the read. I agree with you. Although the technically astute are scratching their heads, wondering where the iPad (et al) fits in with their current devices, those who are aware of the psychological impact of this new device (and the fact [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simon Jenkins in praise of dead trees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8211; LINK &#8211; I think Simon (like many people) is missing the point. For one thing, it&#8217;s generational &#8211; there are many young people (and not-so-young) growing up staring at screens all day. It&#8217;s not a big deal. The screens these days aren&#8217;t going to burn your eyes out with radiation, and the quality means [...]]]></description>

		<title>The iPad is here. Well, almost.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Boy, did this thing take an age to come out. The general concensus is not overly positive. It seems to fall into a gap between the iPhone / iPod Touch and the laptop. As a result, it can&#8217;t do phone things, and it&#8217;s too darned big to fit into a pocket; and there&#8217;s several omissions, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rory Cellan-Jones &#8211; interesting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Interesting piece by Rory Cellan-Jones about ebooks, and the upcoming Apple announcement &#8211; see LINK Rory&#8217;s makes the point that sharing possessions has always been easier with the written word &#8211; books can be lent to friends easily, perhaps far more easily that ebooks can. And he&#8217;s right, to a certain extent. But that&#8217;s not [...]]]></description>
