I see what you're saying, Trenien. Spammers (we're all thinking the word
) generally come in and post a new thread or three on their topic and then disappear (fortunately, the spam filters mean that most MobileReaders are mostly unaware of this
). These particular new-comers joined an on-going discussion and made on-point comments regarding it. So they may be connected with the 3D-book somehow, or they may just be general folks participating in the discussion. Because they're playing nice, I tend to assume that they're just folks -- we were all new members once, after all. They may be associated with 3D-Book somehow, but we actually like connected folks to talk to us, we've had people from iRex, HanLin, Bookeen and others in the past, and they often give us tidbits that we can't get anywhere else.
If someone connected with 3D-Book should happen along, we'd love it if they told us so, and gave us an opportunity to ask questions. 3D-Book may not be
the death knell of e-reading devices its marketing types want to claim it to be, but it sounds like an interesting application, nonetheless.
Who knows? In a few years, there may be a full-color, full-motion e-ink device that can run this 3D-Book thing, and allow notes in the margins, then paper textbooks would be in serious trouble, and wouldn't that be nice?
