If I were GMST I would subsidize comic book to get kids hooked on e-books. It worked for Philip Morris, just hope they don't induce cancer. Dutch

How does more bandwidth lead us to RMBS? The ebook relies on a connection to a phone or a PC to d/l data. You are obviously talking about memory bandwidth which wont be an issue until the ebook becomes the Vid-EO-book. As I understand some of the models have less that 16mb of ram, and for displaying text and a 2d pictures dram or sdram will be sufficient. Now if Thompson starts buying Cree LED's for the backlight, then I think you have a real connection. :) Let me know if any of you are the resident ebook expert. Ecampus is located down the road from me and I may drop buy and see if I can glean some info. Drew
