thanks for all replies. I know no one here would be interested in this idea. We're all computer people who can handle all the steps it takes to get an ebook. But, believe it or not, I work with quite a few people who still read books. With actual paper pages. These are the people it would be marketed toward.
The solar panel thing wouldn't need sunlight...the kind that calculators used to run on used indoor lighting as well as..the sun.
I can picture a nice, tidy leather bound booklet with slots for memory cards. this would be your library of personal books. Take your cheap reader on vacation. No power cord, no wifi. No downloading. We give schools ipads and laptops that cost hundreds of dollars each, but a cheap eReader and a book of memory cards would be cheaper and easier to distribute. maybe this idea is just too far a step backwards.
The point would be to NOT have to deal with having to sign on and use a credit card to buy everything on line. Those that still shop at book stores, would have a reader and a choice to buy a hardback, paperback or memoryback for their ereader.
thanks again everyone.
