It's their new wireless reading device. After watching the video, I am pretty impressed. Supposedly, the screen is different from computer monitors, so it reads like paper. It only ways 10.3 ounces and it's wireless, so you can download books, newspapers and blogs from wherever their is WiFi access. The price tag is a bit hefty at $395, but you'll save tons of trees and you won't have to lug books around anymore. It's unclear if you have to pay for each book or newspaper you download . . . I image you would.

Now they are in their new digs at 1971 Mass Ave in Porter Square. I still think it's a big loss for Davis Sqaure . . . hope the local flavor isn't replaced by some other corporate chain.
