I found them buggy and lacking features that I think are very important – like remembering your place when

A few weeks ago, I submitted a news article about the new Custom Book Pouch from Renaissance Art, a maker of beautiful, handmade leather goods based in Santa Fe, NM.

A few weeks ago, I reviewed the new Sony PRS-600 Touch ebook reader. The reader did not come with the book-style cover that I prefer. I found the 600 would fit into the Sony lightwedge cover I had been using, but the lightwedge itself didn’t line up properly with the screen on the 600, and
