No ebook or ebook reader will ever be as valuable as collector books in paper form.

Perhaps we should go back to the days when books were handwritten by scribes and only the wealthy could afford to own a book?

And at $13 million in 2014 at Christies, how many of us can afford to own it?

Hmmm... considering the current technology in producing EMP bursts with enough power to wipe digital devices over a fairly wide area moves us into the range of NEMP (nuclear electromagnetic pulse) or a theoretical high power solar flare, I suspect very few people will be laughing after such an event. Unless, of course, you are the type who finds apocalypses to be humourous.

I did have some fun years back using an old camera flash and a copper wound iron rod to generate a small scale EMP generator. A very similar idea can be found at WikiHow's How to Make an Electromagnetic Pulse and several other places on the Internet.
