Someone remarks on another thread that great technology seems to fade into the background. Someone famous (like that Steve Jobs guy) might have said it, but it is a common enough sentiment. The super awesome technology makes itself not only invisible but essential--like TV, coffee, or ice (I Would argue that all of them are tied to technological advantages).
Nice to see that there is enough of a blend of shiny-new-tech & organic experience in the reader. Good for you Mitchell (I'm being sincere; would never have the patience to transfer/convert files, & envy you the wise choice of reading rather than vegetating in front of the TV.)
To ad my two cents, I think that the eReader--any one--will not have reached its destination until the *hard*ware is actually not, but is as flexible and durable as a big bundle of paper.
