One gadget that’s likely to be on a lot of Christmas wish lists this year are eReaders.  There are many to choose from with different price points, and different features, and one of the newest on the market is from Sharper Image and it’s called Literati.  Just released in October of 2010, it’s available at retail locations nationwide just in time for Christmas shopping.

Sharper Image has long been a company that has enthralled people with lights and buttons on electronic devices, so it makes sense that they would enter the booming retail presence with an eReader of their own.  What makes this one a bit different than the majority of the ones on the market is that is has an LCD display rather than an E-ink one.

Many people with auto-immune disorders are in need of an ergonomic mouse, that can help make working on a computer more comfortable.  Many jobs require people to be at their computers all day long, or even if you’re blogger like I am, I tend to be on the computer about 1/2 of my day.  It’s hard on my hands since I have an auto-immune disorder called Raynaud’s.  My fingers, thumbs and lower palms can be sore or even numb by the end of the day.  Using an ergonomic mouse helps the pain when used regularly.
