Whole word in your hand?

After many a failed ebook reader, and only lackluster sales of the various tablet PC versions - things seem to be picking up for the "other" type of terminal.

Nokia is experiencing supply problems for their 'pad' due to increased demand way beyond expectations, and at the CES Gizmodo has spotted the Sony Reader "that uses the display technology from E-Ink " - it looks really great for black and white comics, and that would be an interesting application (in addition to the odd PDF document and research reports of 250+ pages).

But - like so many announced products before it, it remains to be seen if it actually makes into stores and then into the homes and offices around the world.
