Added [OT] tag...

My colleague bought a Kindle something. Small screen but very portable, and
the paper ink screen is awesome! Like reading a real paper book. The only
drawback is the size - if there is a bigger paper like a PIC datasheet then
you need to use zoom and constantly scrolling left-right etc and refreshing
the screen is really slow compared to any LCD. Still bearable though.
