Reading Jane Austen on a BlackBerry

I still can't seem to catch onto this e-book craze.  Just found this article from the Chicago Tribune about reading Pride & Prejudice on a BlackBerry.  Don't I look at mine enough?  Anyhow.  I caught this on my way back from Chicago today (yes, I had to fly back on a Sat. because of flight delays), and was only in Chi-town because my boss sent me to go cover for him.  But this time I'm learning.  I'm documenting everything, so he can't accuse me of stealing his clients. 

But back to Jane on BlackBerry's.  The guy across the aisle had an ebook reader thingamajiggy so I asked to look at it.  And, the printing did look like a real page.  I think it was made by Sony.  I still couldn't feel comfortable with it.  I wasn't sure why, until I went back to reading my paperback and spilled my yogurt on it, and then a few minutes later dripped some coffee on my lap while rummaging through my purse for my iPod and realized that the nice thing about a paperback is that I can spill on it and not worry about losing it.  Not sure I'll be getting an ebook gadget real soon.
