Man I agree with the 'e' book idea. I believe the internet will be the publishing company of this century (I almost said 'next' century.. guess i can't do that anymore!). Either download and print papers/docs (like Gilder's newsletter) or download the whole book onto some sort of portable 'viewing' screen. My only problem is highlighting and notations.. I love to make a 'mess' of whatever I am reading with highlights and notes.. Guess they will have to add these features :-)

Now that my brain is engaged in this subject.. What I really love about this idea is the ability to store, cross index etc.. the information you read. Sort of like my BibleSoft software package. I can read Scripture text in 8-10 different versions of the Bible, instantly pull up the greek/Hebrew versions for analysis (Strong's), link to related passages and read what various experts have to say about the passage(s). My study time dropped from hours a day to getting the same quality work done in 1/2 hour or so. Now if I could do this with my business investments - yipee!

Think of it. Download everything about VRTS for study. All articles linked to each other with corresponding financials, analysis etc.. The ability to store it all with my own notes and highlights. I do something like this now but all online using my PC. And I have to do a lot of searching to find all of the articles, boards etc.. SI helps ALOT though.

My only 'problem' with the concept is that I still really like to handle 'paper'. In that if I really want to study something I will print it off, find a nice big comfy chair, excellent light, a hot cup of java, pen and marker and just 'work' the document and let my mind run free on the concepts/info presented. I can't get the same feel staring at a computer screen. These 'artificial' paper books would need to duplicate that 'feel' of handling paper for me to really get into it.
