Which E-book device do you have?

But it's a tablet and slate, no conversion gyrations, runs on a very stable platform, is large enough to read, and never runs out of batteries. In fact, I am pretty certain that it has been "on" for several thousand years.

True, but how many titles are there?

I was going to say that it doesn't appear to meet the "runs on a very stable platform" requirement but I suppose that one crack after 3000 years of use ain't so bad.

Well, I imagine that they have to place it on a rather stable platform to prevent further cracking...

There may also be too much glare (and we know how everyone hates that glare), anyone done any tests yet?

Those darn dust spots in the right hand corner might pose a problem.

Braille is a definite advantage.

How would you download them?

Just saying....WDE.

Give the platform a sharp enough kick and they download themselves.

Mostly Americans, so probably still in a bed

Also, I think there is a higher percentage of Kindle owners who don't know about our forum because it is the only reader that is geared toward computer illiterate users.

You pick your title, Bubba writes the text to the......screen......and hands them to you in person. Bring your wheelbarrow. There's also the opportunity to trade in your titles or resell them. A great system, it would seem.

Gravity as a means of downloading, I like that.

Sounds like the perfect franchise opportunity. Better get on that patent VR !
For $50,000 a wheel barrow and a chisel you can get in on a ground breaking (Yes, a pun) opportunity! Pay Pal and all major credit cards and of course cash are accepted.

Hi,

I voted Cybook (for books) and iPod (for news feeds from NYT and Le Monde). I also read on my computer but only when I have no other choice, so I didn't check that box
