I love to buy new products of technology, but when I make a purchase I usually research the item in question, and use it/them quite often. I've realized over the years that I must purchase items I will intend to use rather than to get the "Electronic Sexuals" as my father likes to call it. While some items I may neglect more than others, overall they all get used, and they never become forgotten.
When there are millions of books out in our world, and a device that is capable of letting huge libraries become digital, it becomes invaluable if you only use it a few times. Take for example Survival books, Medical books, and Think Tank issues. A device like this could save alot of lives if the world becomes chaotic over night :/
This device will motivate more people to become creative, and begin to write good stuff. I can't find any reason to pass this technology up
