Hi Claude. I'd agree that paper books are very nice, but I think that rather than single-purpose readers, we will see nicer and nicer screens on our notebooks. I'm about to (well, eventually) get another Mac, probably through Banana (but probably after Christmas, and that new screen technology ROCKS). Aside from the feeling of a nice book in your hands (which can never be duplicated, IMO) I think people will get used to more electronic screens over time. >Of course, digital gold currencies will always remain the best way >top shorten the 0rder-to-Delivery period. Yeah, that's my main point. It also seems like these guys give up too easily. If they saw that the cost of receiving payments & automating delivery were this low by switching to e-gold, they'd just fire everyone anyway and stay open in what I'd like to christen "rum punch mode."
