But the kobo isn't really for reading graphic novels, is it? Black and white.
And the iPad doesn't work in the sun. The two technologies will have to overcome their shortcomings at some point. Meanwhile, those who don't mind the backlighting will opt for netbooks or iPads, those who do will opt for Kindle or Kobo-like devices.

Russell nominated PAS, so I thought nothing was too obvious.

(Also, I've learned about most of this writing one way or another via Stephen. So I nominate Stephen Judd for best of the web.)

I was going to say the New Zealand Electronic Text Centre, before our forward looking university decided to restructure it. Beside that, some of the best contemporary writing comes from blogs, and I can't get past that very simple and in some respects old-fashioned proposition.

Gotta say, kobo looks neat. 800x600 is decent resolution for reading.
It's not just the resolution, it's the lack of backlighting. The first time I saw it I thought it was off and they had put on some sort of display mask on it (I'm an idiot, I know). Anyhow it looked great - I've always been in the "until it looks as good as paper, don't wake me up" camp.

It looks to be the same device I saw demonstrated in Italy last year and it really impressed me. They said at the time that one could upload one's PDFs on it, as Mikaere says. So once you're set up to scan your books you should be sweet, Keri. I'm considering it for Mum.

Hey, I'm constantly wondering what they load Brand up on in the green room so she doesn't snarl "don't patronise me, you tubby fudge-miner" at Stephen Fry.
Fry often seems surprised when women know stuff, sometimes to weird extents.

I think the iPad media hype track was about 90 seconds long in the end. We wanted something lighter to go out on, which is pretty common.
But in the context of the preceding segment - here's something you don't get to hear about in the NZ media, and it needs more time to be talked about properly; it's actually literally the last thing that was said! - those 90 seconds on the iPad - the most talked about thing on earth - I thought were really strident.
End rant.
I've got it: groovy-looking dude makes some electronic music on his iPad, uploads it to an MP3 blog, tweets about it, then takes his iPad into the kitchen to cook something special for his hot girlfriend...
If you turn the iPad over, it doubles as a chopping board. True story.
Anyway, what are you, my mother?
I'm your annoying cousin.

But if you don't have the Recipe book you want on hand, and don't want to consume paper and ink for a one-off dish - but you can find it on-line well this would be a good way to do it, and less cumbersome than getting the laptop into position possibly
Well you have a point there. They should use this scenario for an iPad ad.
To me it all seems pretty much like noting that Avatar changes the movie experience, whether or not you enjoyed it.
Hehe, that would explain it - I don't think Avatar changed the movie experience at all!

Yes.
