If books in the original latin still exist, how many people can pick those up and do more with them than early ebooks on 5 inch floppy disks? Both will need translation services or a machine capable of dealing with the media, whether ascii or latin.
But I do understand - I can pass along books but with media, I or someone will have to keep moving it to the newest fad to pass it along. And what many do not know is that the writable cd\dvd we use have a potentially finite life before the dyes or plastics deteriorate.
