The "BookMan" Mike mentioned is probably the "DATA Discman", Model No. DD-1,
retail price 58,000yen in Japan, included the power supply and 5 discs of
Sanseido dictionaries. For brochures, contact:

Sony is going to make a standard called "Electronic Book". I don't know
about the details, but each book is made of 8 centimeter compact discs.
