>>I have noticed an increasing number of UT members mentioning they now read books in electronic form. Bad news for them (us) this week, although probably not unexpected. It's common practice to lure consumers to new products with low prices, then raise prices as the products become more mainstream. What sounds different this time is that at least some consumers are resisting.

>I have a better idea than e-book, edible book. The pages would be made of thin potato-chip like material. As you turn the page, you could eat it. This will solve the world hunger problem. Plus people would stop loaning books to their friends and the publisher will sell more books. I can go on an on about benefits of my invention.
