When it comes to digital readers, Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos doesn't seem interested in giving his fans what they want. Bibliophiles have been waiting nearly a year for a cheaper, sleeker version of Kindle--only to have the company squelch rumors that a new device will arrive before 2009. Luckily for Bezos, his competitors don't quite seem capable of making a device that can outdo the current Kindle either. Sony (nyse: SNE - news - people ) on Thursday announced the latest version of its own digital book offering, called Reader PRS700, complete with several flashy features that in some respects outshine the Kindle's--along with a few drawbacks that practically guarantee the new device won't steal Amazon's lead in the nascent U.S. digital-reader market.
