MerchSource Literati - Color Comes to an E-Reader

$20 more than Wifi Kindle with no web site access & no games? Just for color display in a dedicated eReader? I don't think so. Gadgetwise Blog - NYTimes.com: "MerchSource thinks it has a shot at grabbing some e-reader market share. The company announced today its full-color e-Reader, the Literati: a low-cost dedicated e-reader with a full-color screen. The Literati by The Sharper Image sells for about $159 including a case, $20 more than Amazon’s 6-inch Kindle Wi-Fi model. It’s designed to display books and other printed materials, and nothing more. No Web site access and no games."
