This is probably my last post on this thread as I'm not sure what else new I could add. Not trying to hurt any "cause".

The current eReaders, to use an rough analogy from the music industry, are either 8-tracks or CDs. Both were improvements on the old, but only one wasn't quickly supplanted. The current crop is young, so I'm predicting that they are akin to the 8-track. A new tech that will be replaced shortly by the equivalent of the cassette tape. I may be wrong and it could be equivalent to the CD and I'll be moving my library there in the future. Time will tell.

what we're trying to get across here, and failing, I think........is that while you are waiting for the features you want, copyright, etc, you are missing out on the great features that are already there.

All your books at your fingertips, all the time

Built in dictionary.

Automatic bookmarking.

Library usage.

Adjustable font.

If I wanted........instant downloading from anywhere, anytime.

Ability to re-read authors whos writings have withstood the test of time.......for free.

I just want to read, and re-read. Thats all.

How can anything come out, that could be better than that?
