Last January, Sony declared it would be the company to finally launch a successful e-book reader, dubbed - how about this for originality? - the Reader. Combined with a well-stocked e-book store, the device would have the potential to be a literary iPod. The product was delayed for months, but now that it has arrived, I'm excited by its performance and its potential. I love a good hardbound book, but if we're ever going to move on from pulped-tree matter, Sony is looking in the right direction...

Anything seems to go in design today: styles clash, boundaries blur and hipper-than-thou types talk of "hybridity." And few practitioners better reflect the pick-and-mix trend than Barcelona-based product designer Jaime Hay?n. The 32-year-old Spaniard has a taste for the theatrical, so calling the latest overview of his work (at the Aram Gallery in London until Nov. 4) "Stage" is entirely appropriate. Playfulness is a hallmark, too. Having won a cult following in 2004 for his zany yet unsettling space-invader figurines?which were, not surprisingly, big in Japan?Hay?n then broke through last...
