I've worked out the one feature that will make an Ebook reader appealing. Mix Send a noteboard - 27/07/2010 11:34:52 AM
and by that I mean the one feature that would make me buy one this week instead of next week.

What I'd like to see is one that was waterproof.

This way I could read not just in the bath but also in the shower (not to forget in the spa, pool or floating on the lake when on holidays.)

Good news, everyone...

I've invented a faster delivery system for gossip and pornography... now hold still while I inject the internet into your skull.

+1. That's the only way it could have a usability advantage over books. *NM* Tim - 27/07/2010 11:54:38 AM 292 Views
Just make sure it floats as well. Fishing it from the bottom of the lake would be a challenge. *NM* Avendesora - 27/07/2010 12:26:06 PM 270 Views
Floats and a wrist strap maybe. *NM* Mix - 27/07/2010 02:23:39 PM 281 Views
What makes it appealing is that you can bring many books in one device and Helene - 27/07/2010 12:27:06 PM 627 Views

I was once completely against the notion of e-readers. I like the feel of books Helene - 27/07/2010 06:21:05 PM 511 Views
Put it in two opposite facing zip-loc sandwich bags. Aemon - 27/07/2010 12:44:23 PM 544 Views
Not sure if I'd trust a $0.02 plastic bag.to protect a $199 (AUD) toy. Mix - 27/07/2010 02:28:55 PM 604 Views
That's actually what I do with my iphone when I'm on the boat. Avendesora - 27/07/2010 03:10:33 PM 635 Views
you could even attach a 3rd one, put a hole in it and attach some string and a band to it LadyLorraine - 27/07/2010 04:21:17 PM 577 Views
I'll just put a beacon in the 3rd bag so the coast guard could locate my phone. *NM* Avendesora - 27/07/2010 05:18:26 PM 275 Views
but I somehow doubt they'll do it for free LadyLorraine - 27/07/2010 07:51:57 PM 620 Views
I can see your point, but there's very little risk. Aemon - 27/07/2010 08:27:40 PM 545 Views

that does not mean it cannot be made waterproof. LadyLorraine - 27/07/2010 07:52:33 PM 523 Views
Well, then have I got the link for YOU! Wulf`gar - 27/07/2010 08:09:46 PM 774 Views

Nice *NM* Mix - 28/07/2010 12:20:12 AM 265 Views
For me it would be a "Convert to Movie" button. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 27/07/2010 10:35:22 PM 278 Views
