e-read or e-don't read

I've been wandering around Guy Kawasaki's emerging book blogs section on Alltop.com, and I found this fairly comprehensive discussion going on around e-readers.
Sometimes an opinionated blogger (writer?) can get a lot more out of people than you realise.

David Prater's latest project, which received funding in late '07, will be posted here as time goes by. (From the Netherlands, where he now resides and from whence I believe he still edits Cordite Poetry Mag). Humorous.

Regarding the objections of some to Helen Garner's use of real people and places....look no further than this link, via Maud Newton's blog.

Ain't they pretty. Link via ReadySteadyBlog. (These are attractive too.)

Finally - I forgot to go to Clunes. And I'm a bit miffed, as it looked pretty good, and others have reported likewise. So I hope the BookGrocer posts another instalment (link via the Reasons You Will Hate Me person, she of Tuesday BookClub fame.)

But if I had gone, I probably would have missed a most convivial pub drinks (winding into dinner for some) with El (of The View from Elsewhere), Laura, David T. of Barista fame and Sophie Cunningham, whose first Meanjin comes out in June.
So I count myself lucky this time around, and look forward to Clunes '09.
