Liseuseification
Being very pleased with my liseuse, I am thinking of helping to liseuseify my fellow man - after all, everyone should have access to good e-books!
Can anyone recommend a good way to promote and otherwise achieve near-complete liseuseification by, say, 2020? |

Maybe liseusification can happen alongside the continued existence of paper books - I hope so. Maybe paper books will become a bit like vintage cars - nobody would buy a vintage car simply as a means of transport, but there are people who see something of value in just having and maintaining vintage cars. |

I am 100% liseuseified, no paper books at all now In fact, I've gone from paper book collector to loathing the damn things. They're so old fashioned and ridiculous for delivering information in the digital age. I'd say we'll still have some die hard collectors around in 2020, but paper books won't be anything but an antique toy or decoration beyond that.
Then again, I did think ePub would win the format war and that's looking doubtful now. So take my predictions with a grain of salt. |

Petty instigator you are, you know it. You know what you are doing. One hot topic is closed, so let's open another one and do it again. Good luck. |

I must say, I completely agree with astra. This'll be the first thread I'll be ignoring.

Ignoring it is the best idea if you find it disturbing.
