General: Paperless books...now on sale?

[Craig Stearns <craigste@SHORE.INTERCOM.NET>]

  Recently, while I was watching a newsbroadcast, they featured a new tech
device that I have to admit a desire to be one of the first to own.  I've
always said that I wouldn't give up books, cause I'd never be able to take
the computer to bed, the beach or where ever.  Well, they've come out with a
device that is no larger than a regular hardbound book.  It displays the
text of books with page up and page down buttons.  You can manipulate the
size of the text.  It can hold the text of at least 100 volumes.  You can
hook it up to the computer and download new books into it from a
subscription program.  Sounds like something I'd fine useful.  Wonder if
they make it with that wonderful new book scent built into it?
