Make her one lucky lady with the “Edelweiss” shoe!

Go ahead, click on the photo to get a super-sized look at these puppies. Hell, try a few of the other colors. The best that the (closeout) retailer can say about them is that they’re “sure to catch some attention.” They’re on sale for 37% off, but something tells me there are bigger bargains in store for those with a bit of patience.

So, Sony and a few others have had eBook readers for awhile…what’s the big deal about this one? Two things, apparently.

1) Amazon is behind it, meaning they’ll probably have more content. All NYT bestsellers and new books are $10. Presumably older books will be cheaper.

2) It uses frickin’ cell phone technology. That’s surprising, to say the least. No subscription fees (that’s why the thing costs $400) and you can shop for books anywhere you can get a cell phone signal.

It’s definitely not the hit out of the park that Amazon’s mp3 store is, but it’s not bad. Still too pricey, and…hello, fugly. I don’t want a keyboard on my book to remind me that I’m not really reading a book. I imagine that making the eInk screen look as good as it does and be touchscreen is out of the realm of possibility now, but if anything begs to have an onscreen keyboard, it’s this. You basically only want to be able to search for books to download. And maybe to search for the dirty parts in Forever…

She joins the ranks of other celebrities like Amy Winehouse, Sandra Oh and Madonna.

Given my dislike for her, I’m certainly not going to argue, but it just seems fair that we need to propose alternates, and more importantly, male alternatives.

Pete Doherty anyone?
