Funny how that works! I'm sure it's ready, they're just waiting for the right moment.

If I see a prototype, I'll let you know.

>Yeah, I told my wife that it is the last book I bought. :)

>>It's great to hear you use it so much. As for the e-ink, I've never seen it with my own eyes, and I understand it's far from commercially viable, because they have not yet generated the resolution necessary to print small enough for a book. The from an engineering perspective, the technology is apparently sound, and it's currently being used commercially for lower resolution purposes, such as large signs with block letters. I hope I finally get to see a prototype in November!

>>>>I'm a speaker at this year's conference, speaking on managing royalties in the ebook world (which is what my software does). There will be several other speakers, prominent and not. There will be a lot of talk about where ebooks are going, including a talk by the folks at E-Ink, the ones that make the "digital paper" product - i.e. a book on which the actual "ink" on the pages can be changed.

>>>I would like to see one of these alive. I have Rocket eBook for 2 years already and read it every day. I even used it at my DevCon sessions.
