I received the Sony eReader as a birthday gift, and I think to date, it is the best gift I have ever received. I always said i would only read 'real' books....until I got my hands on the Sony eReader. The colour is smoking hot. It's hot pink (they call it red but i say definitely hot pink). That eReader goes everywhere with me! I read books, doodle with it, use the dictionary, i can even log into the local library. I think it is totally worth every penny my boyfriend spent on it. The only thing I wish it had was a built-in light.
