Hi Douglas,
I actually asked this question of you in 1998 and again in 1999 and your response was that you are waiting for a better development of the technology.
What do you think about the current development of eBooks? Have you had a chance to look at the eBook XML standard?
When can we hope to see an eBook-like version of the H2G2 as described in the story? (ie not an eBook version of the story H2G2 that you wrote but one similar to what Ford Prefect carries that contains an entire library of known knowledge...)
Obviously something like this would take up terrabytes of information but with storage capacities being what they are, perhaps you can start with a guide to various countries and work from there.
