But A4 touchscreen readers, I agree that would catch on really fast. Perhaps this is a business venture I should look into when I grow up.
Some of us never tend to grow up so don't wait for it to happen.

Doesn't this sound like a great idea?? Work with the schools as an outside source that can sell the incoming students a particular reader with their textbooks already downloaded on it for them? Then they can be exchanged for the new books (maybe discount the books rather than sell full price) or all books saveable for a slightly higher fee. Damn good idea!
