I once (a long time ago) bought an encyclopedia Britanica for my Dell Axiom at a Staples on a SD card. It came in a nice package with all the details and the card had Encyclopedia Britanica and their symbol on it. I would have been more than happy to have received it as a present. The same way I would an ebook. If I wanted to, I could have shared the encyclopedia with whom ever I chose just by loaning/giving him the SD card, just like a real book. I remember I did try copying it and that it had some basic DRM. I didn't try very hard, it was more just in case I lost or damaged the original. I believe ebooks would do well in this style but would need to come in mutiple formats to make them useful.

Regards, Daryl
