The only problem at the moment is that they cost too much ! You can get a laptop computer for the same price as an Ebook Reader which is absolutely nuts. The prices absolutely must come down before ebook readers really take off IMHO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198904273734254988.post-532313677669540302009-02-05T16:21:00.000-05:002009-02-05T16:21:00.000-05:00Nice, but "getting ebook readers out of the equati...Nice, but "getting ebook readers out of the equation" is absolutely antithetical to the propagation of ebooks. Reading a book on a computer is a pain, so the article should have covered the advantages of readers vs. printed books. The way for ebooks to be popular is to have a delivery system that's convenient and similar to a traditional book. So just saying "read it on a computer" is a bit of a fantasy.Henry Baumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152826970185134084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198904273734254988.post-12194733819149760992008-12-01T13:23:00.000-05:002008-12-01T13:23:00.000-05:00Wow! your article really helped. it was easy to re...Wow! your article really helped. it was easy to read and i could find useful information for my school project.

Do you know how much toxic pollution emanates from producing a laptop and its components? Transporting it to its future owner? And how currently impossible it is to recycle such components?<BR/><BR/>A few interesting facts also about the paper & pulp industry can be found here: www.twosides.info<BR/><BR/>Kr.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151070267034157632noreply@blogger.com
