Thanks to Nathan Bransford (see sidebar) for this link to predictions about the future of e-books.
I agree that the prices for e-readers will most likely come way down, but $99 (his breakthrough price point) is still a bit high for me with e-books costing almost as much as paperbacks. Maybe if e-tailers run a program of, buy 10 e-books, get a free reader? Kind of like convenience stores around here do with gallons of milk. Otherwise, I'll be bidding on ebay, hoping to win an e-reader for, oh, $19.99.

My problem with this is that I like real books. I like their weght and their smell and I like being able to stack them up to use as tables. And I get that having them on one of those e-reader things is kinder to the earth and all that, but I will probably not own one myself. I feel guilty already. I think I need to go plant a tree.
I agree -- I'm only tempted to get an e-reader for long trips. I love to take books along but I hate to carry them.
Yup... I like da feeling of paper too, but if e-bookz are da future, den I guess we gotta embrace it!! Im totally inspired, Im going to do a blog abt this :)
