Subject: Re: 20.492 e-paper!@!
When you realize that a brand new $400 list price terabyte drive
will hold the million eBooks already free for the downloading...
and that a billion eBook library will be here in 15 more years--
along with petabyte drives--the conclusion can only be obvious.
The only question is:
How long can the forces of conservatism make eBooks appear quite
as much like paper books?
Pages, margins, page numbers, line numbers, etc. antiquated?
Would not a few words' quotation as search inputs be better than
a page number? Or even a line number?
Thanks!!!
Give the world eBooks in 2007!!!
