By David Rothman

Sony Reader …you see a black, booklike object on the floor near the bed and worry it might be a lot more than just a p-book. Anyone else get the same feeling?

Coming by 1 p.m. Washington time today: Info on two timely political books online for free, including one with a Hollywood angle, too—plus another Wowio tip for Sony Reader owners.
