The ebook reader that will make things take off is an Apple TouchBook with a screen about the size of a paperback book - the Pocket kind. It would be nothing more than a kingsized iPhone/Touch. Pair the iPhone version with a bluetooth earphone, and watch Apple/Amazon rule the ebook world.
Reason I believe this is that one of my sons, a thirty-something who is only a desultory reader told me the other day that he's reading the Sherlock Holmes books on his iPhone. This happened because I sent him the free ebook link to the BeeKeeper's Apprentice.
I predict that this will happen when Steve Jobs gets reading glasses.
