would it be her path to her "15 minutes of fame?" Or something--well, for lack of a better word--sinister? I'd like to know what you all think her motivations are.

I have an ebook reader, I have the ebookwise 1150. I priced several last year and to be truthful, refused to pay the prices they wanted. I also didn't (and still don't) see the reason for wifi, a keyboard and all the extra doodads those previously mentioned have on/in them. All I wanted was a reader, something I could load books on and take with me. In the one I bought, that is exactly what I got. It was $150 at the time, with the extra memory and a backlight is also already on it. I have almost 200 ebooks on it, some new, some old favorites.
I love my ebook and it is convenient to have at work, in a doc's office or any place I have to wait for long periods of time. It's comfortable in my hand, and not heavy to hold, either. One charge is good for up to 12 hours, but I have read 2-3 books of 400 pages or more before I had to plug it in. I can load my own books on it and do not have to buy every book from Kindle or Sony, I can buy them anywhere that sells PDFs, which I can convert to a word doc and load it. Works fine for me.
I've also found and converted a lot of excellent books that I wouldn't have done either with if they hadn't been in e-form.
I still however, buy loads of books from my local UBS and my favorite authors always get bought first in PB or HB. No matter how much I like my ebook, nothing will ever beat the feel of paper or the scent of ink. It's a comfort thing. There's room for both and most of us who are readers will do both.
(Oh and BTW--Ebookwise's reader is currently on sale for under $100 (dunno if that includes the extra memory or not, tho.http://www.ebookwise.com/ebookwise/ebookwise1150.htm)

I want to read this so bad, I nearly forgot it was coming out! ]]>
Ok, so it's not exactly a free ebook, but a free Kindle to read them on is almost as good, right?
Check it out below.
