taxman- re: e-book sales...

Hi,

Thanx for the post... it is interesting, but, you know...I just don't think e-books are going to be it.

I think it will be electronic, and download able, but looking at a lit screen for my book reading pleasure detracts from the feel and experience of reading.

Unfortunately, I don't have a relevant hyperlink, but I have seen a promising technology that is being developed that combines the book and electronics in a much more comforting format. It is refreshable ink. Basically, the book contents are downloaded into a blank book with all the pages. The paper is as thin as regular paper. When you are done with the book, download another one over it.

What do you think? Ever hear of that?

Just my opinion.

Jon :)
