My libraries contain reference books that do not show well on today's readers and browsing them on the device is frustrating. I also have some very old books that have stood the test of time, they have been out of print for at least a century.
I also have some art books with prints of famous paintings and woodworking marvels. They don't even look good on a 20" LCD, when will we get a suitable reader for those?

As for novels, stories and text in general, I agree that a reader is perfect. But in fact I've never kept those for long because I scarcely read a book twice and depart from them regularly.

Last of all, are you out of your mind??!?? I make part of my living building libraries!!!
You do good work. How about focusing more on kitchens?

I'm not getting an E-kitchen.
