Smaller than a hardback but with more than 160 times the words, the Sony Reader handheld eBook is here. Weighing in at 260g, the Reader stores and displays PDF, RTF, TXT, JPEGs and MS Word in e-ink with enough battery power for around 6,800 page turns in one charge, which is apparently enough to read War and Peace five times over. Once will do me fine, thanks. You can order pre-order it today...
