Actually I'd say it really doesn't matter as it'll take another 20 years to convert the majority at least. I live just a block from the local library that is on the edge of a lovely park so i spend a LOT of time there talking to folks and most of the book lovers? Really don't want electronic books at all.

All fine and well, but just where the hell do you put the batteries in a paper book?

Anywhere you want, hell I got a droid 3 and if I put that battery in my copy of a 1001 nights Volume 1 you couldn't even see the bulge. Really glad I got a post millenium leatherbound as I'm not quite sure my Dad's The Hobbit is Lithium Ion compatiable.

Apple said "Hey someone left fudge on the ground." Samsung looked over, grabbed a hunk and chowed down. Google couldn't find them because she had smeared something all over her eyes. Microsoft was alone on the swingset wishing he could blind himself and eat poo, looked fun. Yeah I'm not a fan of this idea. No one bought cellphone watches, why make them smart?
