We try to stay on topic around here, so I dunno about the Onion pointer--but I will say this: The e-book industry is bizarre enough to be written up in the Onion. Anyway, welcome to the TeleBlog, and keep us posted on your further fun with the Box and other e-book-related gizmos. David Hey, Ben, thanks for the info on the Juice Box.

I got three of them for about $15-$16 each at Kay Bee's, clearance etc. And more recently, I got six MP3/JPEG conversion kits at a K-Mart, the manager was kind enough to let it go for $2 per kit. I was pleasantly stunned, the kid includes a card readers for both usb and for a juicebox, software, and a 32mb sd card too. my wordperfect will convert text into pdf's, and then you can select/copy images from pdf documents and paste them into Paint program. save the result as a jpeg, and, hey now. it makes a nice little mp3 player and a photo-display too, I like it. I gave one to my brother and I already want MORE of them, for clearance prices of course, naturally. This bit about juiceboxes and book-readers, that’s nice!

He'll take anything and pretend that it is a reader. I believe that this could be something I could use to make his dream come true. I know he likes these devices, but I thought that they cost too much. But now that the price is coming down, it's worth a try.
