<i>E-Book</i>

A Sony 'e-book' electronic book is pictured at a Waterstones book store branch, in central London, on September 4. Japanese group Sony launched its electronic book in the United Kingdom on Thursday. With enough memory to hold up to 160 novels and at 260g (just over half a pound), the e-book weighs less than a hardback and uses power only when readers turn a page. Photo: AFP
