Very interesting discussion! If I could, I'd give Karma to everyone!
That said... The day they install fingerprint or DNA scanners to a Book Reader is the day I turn back to paper books. They don't even use fingerprint scanners on most military bases, why the heck would I jump through those hoops for a publisher? I don't care if its the easiest and most efficient scanner in the world, its a violation of privacy for me. Not to mention it'll only raise the cost of books, which will make me more inclined to buy the paper copy, then slide on over to the dark side and get a "fingerprint free" version of the book. Because unless there is an "ebook reader burning", I will still have the e-reader that doesn't force me to sign my life away to read a book.
