BusinessWeek is out with a scoop that could have a big impact on the ebook business. According to a story that posted today on its Web site, Sony will be launching a new ebook reader at CES next week and plans to sell ebooks from its Sony Connect online store. I have been reading ebook on my Treo since I got it, and I think the screen is just bearable for reading text. A larger display would be great, but I am not sure I would pay $300-$500 for dedicated eBook reader, especially if Sony follows it pattern of offering only DRM-protected content for its devices. Still, it is something I will have to check out at the show next week. If only that iPod display was just a little bit bigger....

I won't touch any software from Sony. Even with the DRM fiasco, Sony states they'll continue to "aggressively" protect their property, so we'll be seeing more crappy rootkits that trash our PCs. I won't touch much of anything else from Sony either, given their draconian EULAs. Sony: You have no rights. Trust us.
