To Barbelle, I don't think paper books will completely go away for a long time, if ever. We'll see. But even if they did, by that time e-readers would be much cheaper, just like all technology becomes more affordable over time. The sharing thing is hard for me to even imagine. I don't know if there would be e-libraries (if there were, there'd seemingly be no reason to buy e-books) or would people be illegally sharing books like they do with music? I have no idea. Yeah, thanks Paula.

It's huge, especially when the time comes that some/many books only are released in electronic form. People without the funds to buy a Kindle or other e-book reader just won't have access to those books. It would be a brand-new digital divide. And it would be so hard to share books. I can't count the number of times a friend or relative has handed me a book s/he owned and said "You have to read this!" No more of that with the Kindle. Still, I think it's a fantastic device. Not buying one yet, though. I need to see them get some traction with the general public before I go for it quite yet. That high cost isn’t a small downside.
