>>>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.

What sounds different this time is that at least some consumers are resisting.

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.
