Article note: Huh, that's a cute little alternet I didn't know existed, looks like there are a bunch of them, and many are vaguely-federated. Very much in the old big shared unix host tradition (that SDF has been the standard-bearer for), which is not that different from the BBS tradition, but with some modern flourishes compared to either.

Article note: I'm not $400 sold, especially because I tend to do colors in my informational doodling, but it sure is a cool gadget. The fact that it doesn't do well as an ereader from text-based formats, but is a great PDF reader is an interesting inversion from Kindles. The intentional FOSS/Hacker friendly design is about 50% of the appeal.
