Now this is what I want. An electronic book device that costs $150. And comes pre-loaded with 100 public domain books.
I've been waiting weeks for Jane Eyre to arrive at my local library. With one of these I could just download it and start reading.
Yes, I'm cheap. But technology has to reach a certain level of cheapness for it to really take off. Only after entire civilizations are reorganized around something can you jack up the price. You have to need your car for gas and cars to skyrocket. And electronic books aren't there yet.
But this is something awesome. Too bad my birthday was yesterday. And we just spent all our savings on a new house and requisite things like sinks that don't leak.
