Leaving me with a massively bloated file which sucks up far more memory than a decently-formatted ebook with just text and any *relevant* images. Yep. Sign me up for all that space-wastin'!

If we're down to arguing about file sizes, you've lost. Memory is cheap.

Yeah... Right... And you're going to re-imburse me when my Cybook Gen3 gets fried to a crisp when I try to retrofit more memory??? Didn't *THINK* so! And my Cybooks both have a *hard* 2GB limit on SD card memory size.

But then, maybe you're one of 'those people' who have money simply pouring off the money trees into your deep bank accounts and thus think nothing of "upgrading" to newer ereader devices each week, or when a cloud floats by, or when the clock ticks over to the next minute. Me, I have to budget tightly enough that it will be a YEAR before I can even dream of a newer reader - as long as no financial crisis hits our family.

"Vook"? I assume you read and watch them, and thus "wead" them? I am distressed at the thought my children will one day be weading vooks on a liseuse...

Here's something truly innovative - http://www.hboimagine.com/

The brass ring is making stories more engaging with the use of digital media - that's what the Vook tries to do, and vucks up, but this is pretty cool. No veading or weading or whatever at all!

Could be VERY useful for non-fiction. I'm a yoga nut so I might see if they have any yoga vooks and give it a try.
