I checked out my usual tech blogs today just to see what's going on out there in the world of techiness. Ooh, what's that? Sony are bringing out new ereaders? With better screens and longer battery life and more shininess? Ooooohhhhh.

*smacks head*

Yeah, it's a Pavlovian thing, absolutely no question. I've had my ereader for about six months now. Six whole months. There is no reason I could possibly justify buying a new one just because it's shinier (see previous post for all kinds of reasons). But my brain makes that leap without me even noticing these days. I'm so glad I have a policy now of adding things to wishlists and coming back two weeks later when my brain's had time to recover from the rush of endorphins.

I'm sure I've posted about this before, but there seem to be more and more frequent discussions, conversations, talks, speeches, yadda yadda, about when the great paper book is going to disappear and be entirely replaced by e-books. Not for one heck of a long time, is my simple answer, but I'd need to explain that.

( Rest behind a cut because I blathered... )
