You wouldn't have to buy a new memory card for every book. Just keep adding to the first one until full.

Yes, that's what I was thinking.

I understand why some folks may want to shop in a physical bookstore and then buy the ebook, but that purchase could just involve emailing you a download link. There's no reason it has to involve physical media. If your device can connect to a network and synch, you wouldn't even need to do that. Turn on the wireless and there's your book.

Yes, but what I was thinking of was an older group. I work in a library and see a lot of older people who don't have a computer, so 'just email the link' wouldn't work for them. And yet an ereader, with the ability to enlarge the font, with the much lighter weight than a hardcover book, could be a godsend for them. As I said, if all they had to do was 'click the card in here, push this to turn it on, push this to turn the page' - this they could do.

I think most technophobic people would prefer that to SD cards. I'd be annoyed having to swap out the card for every book I wanted to read.

A lot of books would fit on a card, so you wouldn't be swapping out a card for every book you read; and those who preferred to download straight from the internet could certainly go ahead and do that....
