What I want in an eBook Reader
Topic: Technology 3:31 am EDT, Aug 10, 2007

I want this Sony Reader paper-like-screen thing in ultra-slim 8" x 10" or 7" x 5", and I want integrated wikipedia. I want each word to be double clickable and it will bring up wikipedia, along with a simple wikipedia search box.

I would get enormous use out of a paper-like-screen book reading device like that. I would put all my books on it.

Wikipedia has changed the way I read. Any interesting concept that comes up in a book I am not familiar with, I check the wiki. It provides context that allows deeper understanding of books I'm learning from, or a deeper immersion in novels.

But the book and the wikipedia are separate, and books on screen suck. So hurry up and combine them in a next-gen Sony Reader with an internet connection. Doesn't have to be fast. GPRS could do it. EDGE/3G/Wifi would be great.

And I want any real book to come with a digital version of itself to put on my reader. I also want to be able to buy any book for my reader, for cheaper than a normal book.

How long will we have to wait for this?
