,----[ Quote ]
| As we count down to end of 2009, the
| emerging star of this year's holiday
| shopping season is shaping up to be the
| electronic book reader (or e-reader). From
| Amazon's Kindle to Barnes and Noble's
| forthcoming Nook, e-readers are starting to
| transform how we buy and read books in the
| same way mp3s changed how we buy and listen
| to music.
