As a potential e-matter customer, I would have several concerns. The first question comes when I read this statement " When the document is unlocked, it is permanently registered to that computer." What if I have a hardware problem and loose the hard drive? What if I want to read the document on my laptop (no internet connection) after downloading on some other PC?

Also, PDF is not the most user friendly format for reading documents. Browsing e-matter, I found a few free documents to try out, try putting future or technical into the search parameters, some are word documents but most are PDFs.

To make this thing fly, they need a better viewer technology IMO. The old wordperfect Envoy product worked a little better as I remember.

On the plus side, I could see this as a great tool in the academic area, for professors pubishing course notes and study guides or for students who want to publish course-specific "cliff's notes".
