Almost everyone here is offended by a suggestion that ebooks are equivalent to book burning.
Alan Kaufman seems to have only looked at large, commercial, DRMed offerings. He's right that DRMed ebooks can be burned. If Amazon can delete 1984 & Animal Farm, they can burn books. Google censors YouTube videos that show police brutality.
My dream is a self-contained, solid state ebook that is as rugged as a paper book, has the same life expectancy, and has every book(over a certain age) ever published on it.
DRM advocates want to throw me in jail for trying to preseve the content of books. I am not going to preach to the NAZIs who claim it is wrong to keep an ebook longer than 180 days. They are lost.
