I teach college courses....Every student who has seen my Cybook thinks it is the coolest thing around. Every student saw the potential of the Cybook and ebooks and they all commented on how much they'd like to lighten their book bags ...

Maybe seeing a tangible example of an ebook reader makes a difference. When I describe my Cybook to people, I see them struggle to understand how it works...but when I pull it out and show it off, they usually "get it" within seconds...and usually the next few words out of their mouth is, "where do I get one of those?"
