Bill, I have not used an e-book yet either, and as far a using one instead of picking up a paperback (such as the latest King novel) I do not see the appeal. However, I can envision several situations where its use would be compelling. College students come to mind first. Loading all your text books on the machine, adding all your notes, being able to back all that up for safety. That sounds like a great idea. Travel books would also seem an excellent market. Instead of bringing along weighty volumes just download a few and you're set. Use the search feature to jump from book to book for the town you are in or to find a restaurant or museum description. The Forbes article seemed to be talking about an e-book as a direct substitute for a single volume, and as with audio books the real book seems better. You get to envision curling up with a good book on a comfy chair with a hot cup of tea. But where e-books make sense is the ability to substitute for numerous volumes. Whether e-books go mainstream or not, GMST will have substantial competition in this area. But since they have Thompson to do the heavy lifting, I like their position. StockHawk
