Did you ever think of the weight you are carrying around with paper books and daily newspapers? E-books are considerably lighter, smaller, and take less room at home or in a bag. You can even carry multiple books inside your laptop or handheld reader without adding any weight. Your back will thank you for it!

The scale may have been off, but as best as I can determine, Sunday's Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com) weighed five pounds--no small part of it advertising. That's ten times the weight of my Dell PDA. It's almost twice the weight of my Cybook (http://www.bookeen.com/Cybook/default.aspx?selectionm=3) loaner with a ten-inch screen. A lesson here for the newspaper business? The obese Post needs both a gastric bypass and more emphasis on targeted advertising and its .com side.
