Pocket Reader

The Pocket Reader is completely portable, letting you capture quotes, addresses, phone numbers and more wherever you go. Then, when you get back to your PC or Mac, simply attach the serial cable (included) and the Pocket Reader automatically transfers the text to your computer, where you can edit and paste the information into e-mail, word processing, spreadsheet, and other software.

Looks like you'd need a serial-USB convertor to work with the latest Macs. But at under £34 this device looks real interesting. Paul has bought one so perhaps I'll take a look at that before deciding whether it's worth the money.
