Therein lies the problem, who said anything about "simulate". To simulate is a backward notion that puts more value on books than the content.

When older technology is obsoleted it's better to shift the paradigm than try to "simulate" the old. Would you insist you car gallop as you increase in speed, house lights flicker and turn off with a breeze.


I do agree with you on the sense that the eBook technology is not mature enough to replace paper books but that will not be the case in 5-10yrs from now.
