The future: ebooks inside ebooks?
I was just thinking(pretty dangerous, eh?) that with the rising popularity and proliference of ebooks and ereaders, would the next step be insinuating themselves in the plot itself?! Instead of reading how a certain book touched the heroine's life, it would just be, "that title in my ereader changed my life," or, "that ebook helped me realize who I am."

....yeah, I can't go to sleep. Hit me now.

What happens if the ebooks begin writing themselves? Then you'll have ebooks about ebooks, only instead of changing lives, the ebooks will assimilate other ebooks.

they'd be just like children's books, then as they grow up, they evolve into young adults, and so on and so forth.
