So, Borders has recently released the Kobo eReader, a light-weight, battery-powered device that lets you store digital books and read them on its 6 inch display. Its 1GB in-built storage can hold about 1000 books, plus you can add memory via its SD card slot. You can communicate and synch with other devices, including your computer, via its Bluetooth and USB connections. I guess it’s Borders’ answer to Amazon’s Kindle… Well, at this stage it’s really the Kobo vs Kindle vs iPad vs iPapyrus vs Nook vs Boox vs PocketBook vs Cybook vs .. well, I could go on really, but you get the idea.
What you really need is a good guide that summarises a whole load of these into an easy-to-follow table that doesn’t overload you with brain-fogging words instead, so you can match what you really need with what features each of them has. Check out Wikipedia’s Comparison of e-book readers.
From what I’ve heard, one of the Kobo’s most attractive factors is its low cost (US$150, AU$199), given the features that it has. As of this writing, I’ve noticed both Borders International and Borders Australia are reporting “out of stock” – sold out of eReaders – so they must be doing something right.
For more, visit the Kobo page on Borders’ International website or the one on the Australian Borders website.
Wait, didn’t I hear about a talking one that gives you invaluable tips on travelling across the galaxy? Maybe I should hang out for one of those? And maybe a babelfish to stick in my ear …

Didn’t I hear Hollywood’s in talks to make a WP movie?

Here’s something on my wishlist (not that I have an official one 
) – a keyboard that isn’t. You get a shaver-sized device that projects a keyboard image you can type on like a normal keyboard. Being both USB and bluetooth, not only is it good for computer users but also those who type extensively on lil’ mobile devices.
You can get one from City Software in Australia.
After problems experienced with the last server-provider, we decided to move to a new one. In doing so, I had to reinstall this Wordpress by myself, and I’m trying to resurrect all / as many as I can, the posts from the previous installation. Never done it before so there’s that unsexy learning curve. Then, I get sidetracked into plenty of other work & personal things *hmmm*.
So far, I’ve installed Wordpress for this blog (obviously, as you’re reading this..) & chosen a theme (thanks Jinsona) from which I’ll gradually customise. Bad news is, I can’t seem to import the old posts back directly as this install’s a newer Wordpress version from the one I left at.
So, here’s to tedium, followed by a super-incredible new(ish) blog! *raises glass*
