I wanted one of these so bad back in the day. Never had the cash though unfortunately.
- mechagodzilla 6y agoIt's an interesting observation that there wasn't really a viable market for an ebook device with large-capacity, expensive write-only media - it's not that publishers didn't want to sell e-books, or that readers didn't want a library-on-a-CD, but that there was no good way to sell individual books since customers couldn't burn their own CDs, and didn't want to carry 50 CDs with them.

- smcleod 6y agoAh, my favourite Youtube channel - highly recommend TechMoan!
- petepete 6y agoI thought I had a decent knowledge of obsolete audio and video formats until I started watching his channel. It's fantastic. Also nice to see someone doing that kind of thing on YouTube with a local (well, to me) accent.
