Here now, the Lite Brite never broke my concentration while I was trying to read Flaubert.
Oh, dear, I've crossed the threads.
I find this proposal amusing. Anyone even remotely interested in ripping their DVDs for their tablet almost certainly already knows how to do so. "Lay people" aren't going to WANT to watch videos on their tablets -- most lay people don't have tablets, won't want to set up a distribution system (Dropbox? What is this deviltry?) for easy access, and won't want to commit to the necessary storage and backup.
And that doesn't even get into the fact that heavy users of videos (we own hundreds; my "lay people" parents own... six. And use Redbox.) are simply not going to invest that much $ and time per DVD to rip them. Unless it's, like, a dime per and you can do them all in one day. And I'll bet it's not.
