Crave, the Gadget Blog

I, Crave [1] – Crave is Cnet.com’s gadget blog.

Crave says: “The name says it all. Crave is our blog about gorgeous gadgets and other crushworthy stuff.”

Hat Tip Crave for what’s below.

Here’s a current sampling, including information about Sony’s newest electronic book reader. I’ll consider an “EBR” when I can purchase one that smells like an old book in some antiquarian shop in some street with too long a name in Wales. Well … not really. I’ll compromise at Atticus Books [2] so that I can feed the mind within a short walk of the Harbord Bakery [3]. Mens sane in corpore sane, right?

Sony’s new PRS-505 Reader is available in silver and dark blue and retains a $300 price tag.
