Excellent points all. As some of you have pointed out the true obstacle could be a hardware issue not a software issue. None of us can be quite certain how we will be doing our computing 20 years from now. I tried to run and load Civilization II earlier today jut to test my theories. Guess what? I failed (Vista 64 bit). I am sure there is some way to get it to work, but I just don't have the time or the patience to get it to run. I can't say my attitude will be any different when my ebooks become unreadable. If a game like Civ II can't get my lazy rear in gear I doubt a book I want to reread would.
For me, ereading is most likely going to be a shorter term enjoyment and convenience.
