Here’s another comment about the library world coming from outside the library world. Thomas Hawk, the excellent photographer of Thomas Hawk’s Digital Connections, comments on Sony’s assertion that its new book reader is “sexier than a librarian:”

“Sony says that their new book reader thingy is “sexier than a librarian.” There is just no way I’m buying that one. Nice try though Sony. I’m sure the reader’s probably just fine *but* no way is it sexier than a librarian.”

There also are some funny comments on his photo hosting site. I leave it up to you to decide the level of sarcasm.
