Yep... Everytime I mention items like the Illiad... I think its going to be the same as mp3's and Vynl/Cds... For a long time people couldn't see the point of buying iPods because of the cost. But once you get to a point where the device is easy to use (and perhaps more importantly) when its easy to buy content to put on the device, then you will get mainstream adoption of e-print.
In about 20 years I would guess buying print books is going to seem as old-fashioned as buying vynl...
