There is a format limitation preventing my putting my 7000 books into my Cybook - they're printed on paper. I only have 4000 in electronic form. I have not yet discovered a practical way of stuffing a paper book into my Cybook without scanning and text recognition, which is labour intensive.

One is reminded of the old joke "Farmer age 54, wants to marry a woman around 45. The woman should own a tractor. Please send a photograph of the tractor."

I have a wife, but maybe I should advertise for a girlfriend with a book scanner.

James - who remembers Heinlein's description of the ideograph for "trouble" - two women under one roof
